A NEW PERMANENT HOME FOR YOUR MUSIC
PREMIUM REHEARSAL ROOMS IN EAST LONDON
OUR SPACES
Studio A is our flagship practice room.
With over 35 square meters of space, it's packed with high end gear and ready for bands and ensembles of all kinds to get to work.
You'll find three premium guitar amps, a high end bass amp, a full drum kit (with breakables included), a Roland stage piano and neat accessories like a phone holder for filming sessions, a dry wipe board for hatching plans and guitar holders on the walls.
Studio A also hosts 13 storage lockers which are available to rehearsal room members for a small extra cost.
Studio A
Studio B
Studio B is our second, more intimate practice space.
Its footprint is a little less than studio A's, but still a generous size for bands and ensembles of up to 6 people.
You'll find a 16 input mixer wired to dual active Mackie PA speakers, professional mics, three high end guitar amps, a full drum kit (with breakables) and lots of neat accessories to make your playing experience as comfortable and productive as possible.
Our drum / isolation booth nicknamed 'The Cabin' is ideal for serious drummers and instrumentalists who want to take their craft to the next level in a professionally designed environment.
Studio C
Studio D
Our 'Project Room' is our space for producers, small ensembles, duos, songwriters and teachers who need a space to work. Equipped with a Roland electric piano, a condenser microphone, studio monitors, studio headphones and a four channel interface - it's the perfect place for musicians to get to work.
How Does it Work?
We operate on a subscription basis; our members pay a monthly fee to use the studios.
This means we can offer studio time much more affordably than most of our competitors.
For Rehearsal Room and Cabin members, we offer up to 20 hours per week of studio time, with guaranteed use of the studios at peak times on weekday evenings and at weekends.
For Project Room Members, we offer up to 30 hours per month, broken down into ten 3 hour 'sessions' starting from 8am. Users can book double or even triple sessions for longer stretches.
For those that enjoy working over night, you can also book the room from 11pm-8am, which only counts as one 'session', and for those who need more studio time than the standard Project Room membership, we offer a Project Room + membership which entitles you to 60 hours per month.
For rehearsal room members, all the gear including high-end amps, quality drum kits, professional microphones and a full PA is included.
For Cabin (drum booth) members, a full drum kit with breakables, a headphone amp and Yamaha HS8 speakers are included.
The Project Room is equipped for live playing and recording. As well as a guitar amp, high end electric piano and mixing desk it also includes a condenser mic, four channel interface, controller keyboard, a large monitor - everything you need to record music, just bring your laptop along!

Why choose a Blimp membership?
1. It's way cheaper than paying by the hour.
-
Blimp is like a gym membership or Netflix account, but for practice rooms. We apply the same logic as other subscription-based services, which makes the cost of practice way cheaper.
-
Even for bands who only practice for three hours once a week, a Blimp membership is cheaper than using our pay-by-the-hour competitors.
2. It's way more convenient.
-
At Blimp, you take control. You manage your own time via a Google calendar, and book and cancel slots as you need them.
-
Better yet, if you rehearse at the same times each week, you also have the option to lock in specific slots so that you ‘own’ them and they are kept available for your exclusive use each week.
3. It's way more flexible.
-
We get it. Even the most serious bands don’t usually play for 20 hours a week, and most of our members won’t use their full compliment of time every week.
-
But, if you’re ever about to go into the studio or head out on tour and and need to get tight, you can ramp up your practice hours accordingly.
-
And you have the option to pop in for solo sessions in between full rehearsals (particularly useful for drummers and horn players who need a soundproofed place to play).
4. It's way... better.
-
As a Blimp member, you’ll be playing on high-end equipment, in acoustically treated rooms.
-
You can also store your gear in our secure lockers for a small extra fee, so no more lugging heavy equipment across town.
-
You’ll also be a member of our supportive musical community, with the chance to share info on upcoming gigs and new releases in our community WhatsApp group.
