obi 2 kenobi Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Its difficult to get regular Mon-Thu evening slots in London rehearsal studios we've tried. Consequently, used a lot of different places. Some are great, e.g. Terminal, Joint & Fortress. Some are ok; Alaska & Premises. Some are good but out the way; Creek Others are crap; Enterprise Any recommendations ? Looking for clean large rooms w/quality gear. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good rates too. been using them for years. It's not that far out, North Acton is really quick on the Central Line and Survival is just off the A40. The gear is decent but not amazing. But it's perfectly fine for rehearsal. A lot of signed bands rehearse there apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toneknob Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) Hope this comes in handy: [url="http://preview.tinyurl.com/35q5bm4"]http://preview.tinyurl.com/35q5bm4[/url] I've been to many but not all, and pretty much agree with what's been said so far (but wouldn't give Survival such a hearty welcome, I'm afraid). Also, I like Rogue in Bermondsey - not easy to get to but among the cheaper options, and rather unusually and refreshingly has an online booking system.

Clarky Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 we use Zed One in Camden (225 Camden Road). Decent enough, not very cheap any more (£48 for 3 hours, after big price rise) but usually can get room at short notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survival is half that, less without the drum kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike f Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 There's also Panic in Acton. I can recommend Survival too; nice chaps running the place, lots of rooms and not too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesfinn Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Ritz studios in Putney is good. Quite pricey though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
