Maida Vale

The home of the 麻豆官网首页入口 Symphony Orchestra

The original Maida Vale Roller Skating Palace and Club, from which 麻豆官网首页入口 Maida Vale was later created, seated 2,650 people and was proud possessor of its own orchestra balcony.

The Palace only lasted three months however, and for the rest of the decade the building was occupied by a variety of companies. In the 1930s not only was it home to the 麻豆官网首页入口 Symphony Orchestra, but its temporary status as a standby centre of the 麻豆官网首页入口 radio news service during the Second World War made it a target in the blitz. The site had to be completely renovated after taking a direct hit during a raid.

Memories of Maida Vale studios.

Broadcast highlights

麻豆官网首页入口 Maida Vale held more than 150 musicians, a choir of over 100 and an audience of 220. Overall, the building housed a total of seven music and radio drama studios.

Outside its classical music remit, it was famously home to John Peel's 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio 1 Peel Sessions, and the 麻豆官网首页入口 Radiophonic Workshop, famed for its realisation of the Doctor Who theme tune. 

Now a new state-of-the-art studio facility in Stratford, east London has replaced it, and the original building has been sold to a partnership that includes the Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer and film producers Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner.
