Music Recording Studio London: Safety, Comfort & Wellness

When you’re booking a music recording studio London artists can trust, sound quality is only part of the equation. Comfort, cleanliness and air quality directly affect how you perform, how long you can work, and how productive those long sessions become. At Ten87, we’ve built our studios around the belief that a healthy creative environment is as important as world-class acoustics.

Why Safety and Comfort Matter in a Music Recording Studio London

Spending hours, or even days, inside a studio is normal when you’re writing, tracking or mixing. Poor ventilation, fluctuating temperatures or inadequate cleaning quickly sap energy and can even harm your health. Before you book, it’s worth asking a few key questions:

• How is the air circulated and filtered?
• What temperature controls are in place?
• Are cleaning and maintenance schedules regular and visible?
• Is the studio secure and accessible around the clock?

We designed Ten87 with those questions in mind, so artists can focus entirely on their music.

Air-Con and Fresh Air Systems Throughout

Every Ten87 location is fitted with air-conditioning and anti-viral attenuated fresh air systems. This isn’t an afterthought: clean, temperature-controlled air keeps vocal cords hydrated, protects instruments and makes all-night sessions far more comfortable. Whether you’re rehearsing with a full band or tracking delicate vocals, stable air quality helps you stay sharp and keeps your gear safe.

Flexible, Inclusive Spaces

Our flagship Markfield Road complex in Tottenham offers over 30 long-term studios and our signature day-hire rooms. Every space includes:

• All bills, electricity, internet and business rates – no hidden extras
• 300 mbps Wi-Fi – seamless for large file transfers and remote sessions
• 24/7 access and CCTV security – work when inspiration strikes, with peace of mind

Nearby, High Cross houses ten production studios featuring our most advanced acoustic design to date, and the same wellness-focused features.

Day Hire Options with the Same Attention to Detail

For artists who don’t need a long-term lease, our day hire studios offer the same healthy environment:

• The Club – A cutting-edge room centred around a vintage SSL E-Series console, ideal for full-band tracking or intimate writing sessions. Recent clients include AJ Tracey, Laura Mvula, and Red Bull Music.
• Studio B – A warm, intimate writing space with a world-class vocal chain and instruments such as a Juno 106, Rhodes mk1 and Yamaha U3 piano.

Both rooms share the same air-con and filtered fresh-air systems, rigorous cleaning schedules, and 24-hour access.

Community and Wellbeing

Ten87 began in 2014 from a simple idea: musicians thrive when they feel part of a supportive network. Today, more than 150 recording artists call our 50 studios home. Alongside the technical perks, you’ll find an on-site listening bar and restaurant at Markfield Road and informal collaboration opportunities across all our spaces. A friendly, professional community does wonders for morale during long projects.

What to Ask When Choosing Any Music Recording Studio London

Even if you’re looking beyond Ten87, here’s a quick checklist to protect your health and creativity:

1. Air Quality – Ask if the studio provides filtered or fresh-air ventilation.
2. Temperature Control – Consistent heating and cooling prevent fatigue and instrument damage.
3. Cleaning Regime – Daily cleaning of high-touch surfaces keeps everyone safe.
4. Security and Access – 24/7 entry with CCTV monitoring allows flexible schedules without risk.
5. Inclusive Costs – Bundled bills mean no unexpected charges halfway through a project.

Studios that meet these criteria give you more than great acoustics; they create an environment where ideas flow.
