If you are lucky enough to visit this place you won't be…read moredisappointed, it basically was the top studio in London during the 70's and 80's and probably still is today competing against the likes of Abbey Road Studios etc... Metropolis Studios are located in Chiswick High Road next to the bus station this is also where they also filmed 'On The Buses' from this garage! this place used to be a power house in it's early days and was converted and was basically was the home for many very big recording artists including Queen that had a studio made for them as this was where they basically made history for many of their well known classic songs they produced at Metropolis Studios.

The studios are spacious and well equipped however even though spacious does get a tad warm in the room. They have a large mix base with all these knobs and buttons everywhere don't know what most of them done but looked impressive and was great watching the mixers at work. The experience with Richard and Fred of Right Said Fred will be one I will never forget. Near the end of the day of busy recording we had a tour around the rest of the building and it was great to see Queen's (Freddie Mercurys) piano that he used to take everywhere with him at these studios in a big hall area I even got to tinkle the keys of the great black piano. Sounded beautiful even though I don't know how to play. Also saw the room where Queen used to hang out and many other artists and other studios in which famous musicians have sung. However the studios can be hired out so its not always the rich and famous that use them. I highly recommend to anyone that is thinking of doing a recording. Facts: Metropolis Studios is one of the few remaining recording studios in London. Famous musicians such as Queen, Michael Jackson, Right Said Fred, Adele etc have sung in these studios. But before this place was a studio it was a Power House and was also used in the classic TV program "On the Busses"

I'm a big improv fan and love long-form (a la TJ & Dave), so I stopped by when Ten Thousand Million Love Stories was on. It was really entertaining, even with the wall-breaking and seeing some of the seams. Improv is tough, but they still made it look easy. Very sharp performers, those two. The other two acts weren't as good (I won't name them out of respect), and I left halfway through the third act. There's a bar with beer and wine (you can order a whole bottle of prosecco to yourself, if that's what you fancy). Good amount of seating without obstructed views.

The place is conveniently located close to Kings Cross Station in central London. The rooms were huge and had all the usual gear you need.

The staff is very knowledgeable and came to our aide with electrical leads and there is even a nice snack bar next to rows of drums, electric guitars and everything you need to jam. Really well stocked and even lockers if you want to store stuff there. Give this place a try -- you won't be disappointed.
