Frequently Asked Questions - Recording Studio Hire, North London

FAQS

About Our Studios

What is dry-hire?+

Dry-hire means you rent the room on its own — no engineer, no equipment, no booking system. You bring your own gear, set it up the way you want, and the room is yours around the clock. We don't get involved in what you record or how you work. Read more about how dry-hire studio rental works.

Do I need to book time slots?+

No. All studios are rented on long-term licence agreements with 24-hour access. There are no time slots, no session bookings, and no one else in your room. Your key fob gets you in at any hour, any day of the year.

Can I leave my equipment in the studio?+

Yes. Your gear stays in the room between sessions. The studios have secure fob access, with CCTV and monitored alarms throughout the buildings.

Who are the studios for?+

Producers, artists, singer-songwriters, composers, beatmakers, DJs, and musicians who want a permanent, private base. If you're working from home and need to separate your work life, or you need a consistent acoustic environment, the studios are built for exactly that.

Can I share a studio with someone?+

Yes. Studios are licensed to the individual but you're free to have collaborators working with you. If you want to split a room with someone else, get in touch and we can talk through how that works.
