De Lane Lea Studios
De Lane Lea Studios is a recording studio based in London , currently at 75 Dean Street in Soho (not far from the Batcave ). It is known for dubbing movies and television shows, and it used to be a music recording studio.
Major Jacques De Lane Lea, a French secret service attaché serving the British government, founded De Lane Lea Studios in 1947 to dub English films into French. The studios were adapted to the needs of the market and expanded to several locations in the 1960s and 1970s. There followed a marked increase in music recordings and the growth of commercial radio and television stations led to new fields of activity in the field of advertising.
Numerous well-known musicians and bands have made recordings at De Lane Lea Studios, particularly at the former location at 129 Kingsway . These include The Beatles , The Rolling Stones , The Who , Pink Floyd , Jimi Hendrix , Electric Light Orchestra and Deep Purple . At another location, on Engineers Way in Wembley , the band Queen recorded demos in 1971 .
Today De Lane Lea Studios specializes in the post-production of feature films and television programs. Well-known works that have been edited here include four Harry Potter films and two James Bond films.
In November 2012 the studio was taken over by Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden .
