Select from our large number of new and vintage videos recorded at London's top music recording studio complex which include leading record producer interviews and brief tours around the studios. Many of these features are very current but some of these are now out of date but will still be interesting - we hope!
Metropolis Studios are located in Chiswick, West London, in a converted power station, space is therefore not a problem and in the days when this huge building was constructed, power stations were built to look good, impressive even! The studios were built in the late '80's to much amazement and industry 'buzz' due to the sheer scale of the new complex. Now, over a decade lader, the studios still retain a freshness and character unique to the UK's recording scene. |

The complex has featured in many TV programmes due to it's unique design and there have been stacks of pop videos shot in the studios too. The five main studios and mastering facilities are constantly evolving and our video tours and producer interviews recorded at Metropolis are getting left behind so a new guided video tour of the complex is planned for the Summer.
