Fortress Studios, London

About Me

The Fortress prides itself on being the best environment for making music in London. The studio has everything you could possibly need. A beautiful warm old analogue desk (Neve V1 with Flying Faders automation), superb sounding live rooms, state-of-the art equpiment (Protools or 2" 24 track tape and loads of funky compressors and mics), experienced and creative engineers/producers, a relaxed professional atmosphere..... and don't forget Freddy, the in-house French chef.
The Fortress also has rehearsal rooms, private long-term rental programming rooms, a private bar, The Vestry (available for hire) and storage cages. See our website www.fortressstudios.co.uk for more information.
