Lansdowne Studios
Lansdowne Studios

Lansdowne Studios was a music recording studio in Holland Park, London, England, which operated between 1958 and 2006. The studio was located at Lansdowne Road, Holland Park, within Lansdowne House, a Grade II listed eight-storey building which was originally constructed in 1902-04 by Scottish architect William Flockhart, for South African mining magnate Sir Edmund Davis. The building contained apartments and artists' workshops. Among the artists who had studios in the building in the early decades of the 20th century were Charles Ricketts, Charles Haslewood Shannon, Glyn Philpot, Vivian Forbes, James Pryde, and Frederick Cayley Robinson, who are commemorated on a blue plaque on the building.The building underwent significant alterations. When, in 1957, record producer Denis Preston was looking for a property in which to set up a recording studio, his assistant engineer Joe Meek found the premises, which had unusually high ceilings and a basement squash court, suitable for conversion into a studio. Preston, Meek and engineer Adrian Kerridge then established the studio, and made their first recordings there in 1958. The studio was London's first independent music recording studio. In 1962, an enlarged control room overlooking the studio floor was opened. Kerridge later became the studio's owner.It was used in its early years by many jazz and pop musicians, and became renowned for the clarity of its recordings. Musicians who recorded in the studio included Lonnie Donegan, Acker Bilk, The Dave Clark Five, Donovan, The Animals, Shirley Bassey, The Strawbs, Queen, Uriah Heep, Sinéad O'Connor, and Graham Parker.
