East London's creative corner
The last ten years, with the legacy of the Olympics connecting it to the rest of London via the Overground, has seen the Wick become a cultural hotspot. Rising from the (undoubtedly tasty) ashes of a bagel factory, our Hackney Wick studios are just a few minutes' stroll from the station.
Once you're finished in the studio, explore the Wick's renowned restaurants and bars, including CRATE Brewery and Pizzeria, Howling Hops Brewery and Tank Bar, or pop across to Stratford for more options.
For those after 'creative juices', we like the community-led Hub 67, Stour Space, and Grow, home to live music and open mic sessions.
Need some fresh air? The studio is close to both Victoria and Queen Elizabeth parks and the Hertford Union Canal, and very well connected for cycling.
