We have included a profile of our own podcast studio at Creative Kin, and the production services we offer.

If you are looking for a brand content partner with a cine-grade video podcast studio, done-for-you editing and social media packages – plus easy Elizabeth line access – Creative Kin Podcast Studio might be just what you are looking for.

But brands and creators come in all stripes.

And the London podcast studio market offers a wide range of options – so there is something for everyone.

Creative Kin Podcast Studio

Established brand content partner with a classy video studio

Founded by former BBC World Service Editor Jason Caffrey, Creative Kin is a video podcast studio and content company that drives growth for ambitious brands by generating a month's worth of marketing content - all from a single recording session.

Working from a newly refitted multi-cam studio at Woolwich Works - South London’s landmark arts and culture venue - Creative Kin combines journalistic editorial expertise with its proprietary AI-powered repurposing system to turn every conversation into an entire content campaign.

"A very cozy studio with everything needed for recording, great sound quality, and a friendly and welcoming host. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, a pleasure to work in." - Natalia Rybalkina

So for creators and brands who need a professional, fully-managed production service - without the complexity of a bespoke agency - Creative Kin is the ideal solution.

We work as your strategic content partner, combining broadcast-quality video with a streamlined, ‘done-for-you’ workflow so you can focus on creating.

Pros:

• Quality-focussed studio with multiple cine-grade cameras

• End-to-end done for you recording, editing and social media services

• On-site green room, dressing rooms, showers, cafe and co-working desks

• Multiple transport links including Elizabeth line, Mainline rail, DLR and River Boat services

Cons:

• Weekend availability restricted to half- and full-day bookings

• West and Central London clients are reliant on Elizabeth line links.

• Not geared towards self-op creators

Qube Canary Wharf

Multi-disciplinary creator studios with a club vibe

Qube Canary Wharf is one of several London iterations of the music and DJ creator spaces founded in 2019 by Amin Hamzianpour and Nicholas Sonuga.

With a fully licensed public bar on site, the front of house offer is popular with drop-in revellers and event hires.

Much like Pirate Studios, podcast studio hire is an extension of Qube’s core offer of music production and rehearsal rooms, although, at least as far as the podcast studios are concerned, the look and feel is more upmarket.

What sets Qube apart from other podcast studios is its membership model.

Creators apply to join via the website, while non-members must navigate through a few menus on the website to find booking options, which start at £225 ph for a three camera set up and a live edit.

Pros:

• Reliable podcast studio option

• Second audio-only studio available

• Close to Canary Wharf transport links

Cons:

• Primary facilities not focussed on podcasting

• Memberships oriented towards music creators

• More competitive options available for podcast live edits

With a studio dressed in neutral tones, The Lodge provides a relaxed armchair-style setup equipped with hybrid video-photography cameras.

With London City Airport DLR station a short bus ride away, The Lodge adds a new option to the London podcast studio hire landscape in a creative corner of what remains an actively industrial Docklands neighbourhood.

Pirate Studios

Warehouse-Style Self-Service For Creators On A Budget

For creators who value flexibility, affordability, and 24/7 access, Pirates Studios has long been a go-to option.

Their low-cost self-service model is aimed squarely at DIY creators comfortable with their own technical setup.

With a core offer that covers recording studios for musicians and DJs, as well as dance studios, podcast studios are now available in most of Pirate’s warehouse-style locations.

So if you get the urge to record at 2am on a Sunday, and you’re not phased by the no-frills setup, Pirate is a good place to start.

Outset Studio

Solid self-op solution

For creators looking for a step up from Pirate’s utilitarian offer, Outset Studio provides solid options.

With London studios in Shoreditch and London Bridge, Outset offers clean - if sometimes sparse - spaces that cater to the City of London and the near-East End.

Creators can expect dependable results, though some users have complained about the cost of cancellations - Outset operates a no-refund booking policy – although for an operation heavily focussed on studio hire, this is not unusual.

• Solid production standards

Cons:

• Less focus on "done-for-you" services

• No refund policy means you pick up the tab if your guest cancels

Outset Studio is best for

Podcast Studio Hire

Flexible studio option embedded in a Bow co-working space

Founded back in 2020, Podcast Studio Hire planted its flag early in the London podcast studio scene.

Operating out of Lock Studios, it offers both desk and sofa-style setups.

It also runs 6k cameras - a standard matched only by Creative Kin and Outset (although Creative Kin Podcast Studio is the only studio on this list that includes four 6k cameras as standard).

With a focus on delivering raw media files, Podcast Studio Hire serves as a practical option for independent creators or local teams who need a simple drop-in environment to record.

Pros:

• Top-spec 6k cameras

• Flexible studio setups

• On-site amenities include showers, secure bike storage and an on-site café

Cons:

• 3-camera maximum

• Studio-hire focus with limited post-production support

• No social media production services

Podcast Studio Hire is best for

Independent creators looking to record hi-res video.

East London Podcast Studio

River based studio with music recording heritage

Based on a converted lightship moored on the Thames near East India DLR station, East London Podcast Studio is part of Lightship 95 music recording studio.

Leaning hard into its core identity, the studio features a distinct aesthetic with banks of mixing desk faders doubling as the backdrop.

With priority given to music recording during weekday office hours, podcast bookings are taken in the evenings and weekends.

But for podcasters who can work out of hours and whose content fits the recording studio look, East London Podcast Studio is a unique proposition.

Pros:

• Unique river-based studio on a converted lightship

• Distinctive music-oriented aesthetic with authentic mixing desks providing a specialised visual backdrop

• Easy access from East India DLR

Cons:

• Podcast bookings only available around music recording hours

• Limited parking available on site

London Podcast Studio

Based in Whitechapel, London Podcast Studio offers room and equipment hire across two distinct spaces – an audio-only booth and a lounge-style video studio.

Video capture is built around the Sony a6400 cameras popular with vloggers and YouTubers. 

The standard video podcast studio hire price includes two cameras, with the option to add a third for an additional fee.

Other extras like teleprompters are also available, as are membership options for regular content creators.

Pros:

• Fast transport links from Canary Wharf and the City

• Separate booth for audio-only podcasters

• Private roof terrace

Cons:

• Prosumer-tier cameras outclassed by other studios

• Costs can stack up if you need more than two camera angles

• Back-to-the-wall furniture arrangement leaves no room for depth in the images

London Podcast Studio is best for

Lifestyle podcasters and independent content creators looking for a casual lounge-style feel.

Podshop Online

Operating across two studios close together about an 8-minute walk from Liverpool Street Station, Podshop is a practical option for teams based in Old Street or the City. 

The studios feature industry standard kit to capture multi-camera video recordings, although baseline podcast studio hire prices include only two cameras, and unless you are comfortable handling post-production yourself, live edits will push your final bill higher.

Podshop, like Creative Kin, also offers editing, production and brand social media packages.

But where Creative Kin offers value-packed memberships for regular podcasters and special rates for half-day or full-day studio bookings, Podshop sticks to hourly rates for podcast studio hire.

Pros:

• Multiple studio options

• High production standards

• Good transport links to the City and Shoreditch

Cons:

• Delivers raw files as standard - no live edit included

• No membership options for regular clients 

• Lacks block booking rates for bulk content production
