Britannia Row Studios
Britannia Row Studios is a recording studio in Fulham , London SW6, England .
The studio was originally set up by the British band Pink Floyd after recording their album Wish You Were Here in 1975. At that time it was on Britannia Row Street, Islington , London N1. Pink Floyd had integrated the studio into a converted church, which had previously served as a storage facility for the band's equipment and housed their office and rehearsal rooms. After a number of vermin had been removed that had been bothering the recording of Animals , the band found excellent recording conditions in this studio for the future. In this studio Pink Floyd recorded her next album Animals and parts of the concept album The Wall . The well-known children's choir of Another Brick in the Wall was sung here. Drummer Nick Mason later became the sole owner of the studio, but in the early 1990s he decided to sell the studio to the current owner, Kate Koumi.
In the mid-1990s, the studio moved to its current building. The premises of the original Britannia Row Studios are now used by the London School of Sound . The last studio albums by Pink Floyd, The Division Bell (1994), as well as its offshoot The Endless River (2014), were partly recorded here.
