In a city overflowing with creative talent, finding the right day recording studio in London isn’t just about having the best gear; it’s about finding a space that understands what you’re trying to do. Whether you’re tracking a full band, writing toplines, filming live sessions, or hosting a creative camp, flexibility and atmosphere make all the difference.
At Ten87, we’ve built more than just rooms; we’ve built environments that support the rhythm of your work, no matter the scale. With 50 studios across Tottenham and a growing community of over 150 artists, producers, and engineers, we’re proud to be London’s creative home for those who make music their craft.

At Ten87, we’re here to support the full spectrum of music makers, from writing camps to live sessions, and everything in between.
When you search for a music recording studio in London, you’re not just looking for four walls and a desk; you’re looking for a place that fuels creativity, supports workflow, and respects your craft. At Ten87, we’ve built more than just studios. We’ve built a home for creators.
Founded in 2014 from a genuine need to create community within music, Ten87 is now home to over 150 artists and 50 studios, all nestled in the heart of Tottenham. We’ve learned from those who use our spaces every day, producers, writers, engineers, and performers, and we’ve built what they told us they needed: space, security, simplicity, and sound.
So, what makes a great music recording studio in London? Let’s break it down.
Whether you’re tracking a vocal or finalising a mix, acoustic treatment is essential. Both of our long-term studio complexes, Markfield Road and High Cross, are built with advanced acoustic design, so your monitors translate. High Cross, in particular, features our most refined build yet, providing exceptional isolation and accuracy, crucial for production, mixing and mastering workflows.
At the club, our premium day hire studio, acoustic excellence pairs with a vintage SSL E Series console and pristine monitoring, making it ideal for full band tracking, live sessions, and high-level production.
Creative energy shouldn’t be limited by technical stress. That’s why all Ten87 studios are kitted out with:
Our clients value the plug-and-play simplicity. Whether you’re bringing a laptop or tracking a 10-piece band, everything works. And if something doesn’t, we’re always on hand to help.
What sets Ten87 apart from other music recording studios in London is our community. This isn’t just a rented room with a lock. It’s a shared space with over 150 like-minded creators under one roof. People who genuinely care about the craft, who are open to collaboration, and who often end up on each other’s records, tours, and production credits.
The industry can be isolating, but we’re here to change that.
We’ve seen firsthand that no two artists need the same setup. That’s why we offer both long-term let studios and day hire options, depending on your goals and schedule.
