The Old Vinyl Factory is a complex of buildings formerly owned by the British music company EMI in Hayes, within the London Borough of Hillingdon.

The site was originally purchased by Gramophone and Typewriter Ltd and the buildings were designed by Wallis, Gilbert and Partners in the early 20th century.

While used by EMI, the site was responsible for the production of many thousands of shellac and vinyl records by 20th century musical acts, as well as radios and other broadcasting equipment.

Under plans for £250 million of works, the site, covering 17 acres (6.9 ha),[1] is to include commercial and residential units and a university technical college.

[3] The factories again returned to the production of munitions during the Second World War, as well as domestic radio receivers, which were marketed with some adaptations to households by the Home Office for £12.

Artists of the time – including the Beatles,[6] the Rolling Stones, Cliff Richard and Pink Floyd – had their vinyl records produced at the site.

[11] By February 2015, Sonos, Host Europe Group and CHAMP Cargosystems had signed agreements to occupy the Shipping Building.

In March 2017 a multi storey car park dubbed "The Music Box" was under construction at the west end of the site near Dawley Road and Bourne Bridge.
