Abbey Road Studios is the most famous recording studio in the world and a global music icon. It is synonymous with the Beatles as the band’s stomping ground during the 60s and the place where they recorded most of their songs.

​

It was in 1929 when the Gramophone Company, a predecessor of British music company EMI, first acquired the nine-bedroom Georgian townhouse found at 3 Abbey Road, St John's Wood in London. They were interested in the property because it came with large grounds which permitted a much larger building to be constructed at the rear, for the studios.

​

It was opened several years later, in November 1931, by Sir Edward Elgar, who would conduct the London Symphony Orchestra in recording sessions of his music. In the same year, the Gramophone Company merged with Columbia Graphophone Company to form Electric and Musical Industries (EMI), and the studios became known as EMI Recording Studios.

​

The awe-inspiring venue has since been at the forefront of music creativity, hosting many landmark recordings with the likes of The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Kate Bush, Oasis, Radiohead, Adele, Ed Sheeran and numerous others. It has been home to many technological breakthroughs, including the invention of stereo and is the place where soundtracks were recorded for some of the biggest movies ever made, including Star Wars, The Lord of The Rings, Harry Potter and Skyfall.

​

Abbey Road is the oldest, purpose-built recording studio in the world, but is best known to most people for being the creative base for The Beatles. In the late 1950s, Studio Two became the centre for British rock and roll music. It is where the Fab Four recorded almost all of their music between 1962 and 1970. In fact, the band loved the studio so much they decided to name their 1969 album after the street where it is located.
