Decca Studios

[2] From British Decca's beginnings in 1929, its earliest recordings were made at two locations, the Chenil Galleries Studios in Chelsea,[3] and later in Lower Thames Street.

In 1961, Decca expanded by building Studio 3, with a live room large enough to accommodate a full symphony orchestra, on land adjacent to 195 Broadhurst Gardens.

With the sale of Decca to Polygram, the studios were closed in 1981 and the building was renamed Lilian Baylis House.

[7] The studios also saw the formation of the original Fleetwood Mac, under the aegis of then-Bluesbreakers guitarist Peter Green, after John Mayall bought him studio time as a birthday present, recording the tracks "First Train Home", "Rambling Pony" and the instrumental "Fleetwood Mac".

Adam and the Ants recorded full band demos of their then live repertoire at the studio in August and December 1978.
