Audio-only booths vs. a real studio

Hourly podcast booths in London run £20–£40 but give you a cupboard-sized room and a static webcam. For the same money at STU 22 you get a lit, filmable space — and if you want cutaway content, the infinity cove and blackout studio are down the corridor. Most shows here book 2 hours: 60–90 minutes of recording plus setup and clip pickups.

Getting here

Wapping E1W — 4 minutes' walk from Wapping Overground, one stop from Tower Hill, 10 minutes from Shoreditch and Canary Wharf. Guests coming from the City can be here in a £10 cab.
