What TEN 87 STUDIOS does

Ten 87 Studios Ltd operates a community-anchored recording studio platform founded in 2014 and headquartered at 39A Markfield Road, Tottenham, London. The company runs 50 recording studios across three North London locations — Markfield Road (the flagship with 31+ long-term studios and an on-site listening bar/restaurant), High Cross (10 production studios), and Gaunson House (6 premium studios, its original site) — alongside day-hire facilities branded The Club and Studio B. Its core technology stack centres on a vintage Solid State Logic E-series console integrated with modern DAW recall systems, complemented by Neve, Chandler EMI, Universal Audio, EMT, Neumann and ATC monitoring, and the complex is self-described as Europe's largest solar-powered studio facility.

Ten87 monetises through three product tiers: long-term studio rentals on flexible monthly contracts with 24/7 access and community perks (subscription recurring), day-hire of The Club (tracking suite) and Studio B (writing/vocal space) on half-day/full-day usage-based pricing, and a Membership programme that provides flexible access to high-spec studios with Neumann equipment and discounted day-hire rates (subscription recurring). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the website, phone (020 4540 1087), and email ([email protected]), with a community-led go-to-market motion built around word-of-mouth, events, and showcases of resident artists including Sherelle, JD. Reid, Fontaines D.C., Mount Kimbie, SBTRKT, Quantic, Dan Parry, Easyfun and Hinako Omori.

The company serves independent musicians, producers, songwriters, recording/mix/mastering engineers, and bands seeking professional facilities and a collaborative environment. It claims a resident community of 150+ recording artists with 7 of 10 members having collaborated with more than five studio neighbours, and operates as a privately held limited company registered in England (company number 08812265) with no institutional investors, parent company, or public funding disclosures beyond the general statement that it is publicly funded and works with the music industry. Equipment partnerships with SSL (core), iZotope, Spitfire Audio, Antelope Audio and Audeze support its professional audio positioning.
