What should you Iook for in a podcast studio?

Location matters

Central London studios, like TYX Studios, offer easy access via Liverpool Street, Old Street, and London Bridge stations. If you prefer a quieter spot, east London and north London studios provide equally professional settings, often with the benefit of less foot traffic.

Equipment and technology

Not all studios offer the same level of professional equipment. Make sure to check for essentials, especially if you’re producing video podcasts or social media clips.

Most studios welcome clients to use their own equipment, including microphones and headphones.

Services and support

A great podcast studio provides more than just a room. Look for studios offering on-site producers, experienced engineers, and a full podcast package covering editing, remote recording, and post-production assistance.

This support makes a big difference, particularly if you’re managing multiple remote guests or aiming for fast turnarounds. Some studios include free filming as part of their full podcast packages, as well as bringing your own SD cards for easy content management.

Atmosphere and experience

The recording experience matters just as much as the final product. Studios like Podcast House and Thin White Duke create an environment fostering creativity, helping you feel comfortable and inspired.

Studios like TYX provide additional breakout spaces to foster creativity and direct connections through networking, and free tea to keep you refreshed during long podcast sessions.

That's a wrap!

London’s podcast recording space is one of the best and fastest growing in the world. The city offers a wealth of options tailored to creators at every stage and style, catering to those launching their very first episode to producing a sophisticated multi-camera video podcast.

More than just selecting space, a great podcast studio partners you with a team and environment that elevates your content. This ensures every episode sounds crisp, looks polished, and connects meaningfully with your audience. With so many premiere podcast studios across London, you’re perfectly positioned to create podcasts that stand out and resonate.

Good luck!
