London’s Historic Maida Vale Studios Set For Revamp By Hans Zimmer

The studio was sold by the BBC in 2023 after decades in the west London recording space and is set for an extensive refurbishment.

The BBC announced its closure in 2020, but in 2023, a group led by famed composer Hans Zimmer bought the complex with hopes of restoring the studios to their former glory. Initial plans for a revamp at the £10 million valued studios have now been shared by the group, which includes Zimmer ( The Lion King, Interstellar), and his business manager Steven Kofsky, alongside film producers Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, as reported by the BBC. Upon news of the purchase in 2023, Zimmer said that the goal was to “make Maida Vale Studios a place that inspires, teaches, technologically serves the arts and humanity, and gives the next generation the same opportunities I was given: to create and to never give up.” The online consultation will run until October 11.
