North West Knows Best

Bridge near Stonebridge Park train station, close to Pirate Studios Wembley

Ever dreamed of playing in Wembley? Whilst the area will forever remain synonymous with some of the country's greatest ever sporting achievements, in 2020 there's a new wave of cultural activity with a different kind of pitch in mind.

  • Wembley Music Centre stocks a mind-boggling array of instruments for casual and professional players, boasting Europe's largest drum showroom to boot.
  • From the world's best standup comics to variety awards shows, the SSE Arena plays host to many top picks on the capital's cultural calendar.
  • Built from the rubble of the old Wembley Stadium, Northala Fields' four artificial viewpoints and surrounding lakes make for a stunning vista and hangout spot.

Frequently asked questions

Getting here and access

what3words location: ///hiding.drill.total

Driving? There are three spaces available at the front of the building. Please ensure you park in the marked bays, as local enforcement is in place.

If you're coming by public transport, the studios are a 20-minute walk from the nearest tube station, Hanger Lane — a 25-minute tube journey from Oxford Circus. Buses stop nearby on North Circular Road.

Access — Wembley has four steps up to the front door. Our podcasting studios are on the upper floor. An accessible toilet is located on the ground floor.

Are there any shops near the Wembley studios?

In short, no — whilst there is a communal kitchen available, there are no vending machines on-site or convenience stores within the immediate area. Apologies! It may be worth stocking up ahead of your visit if you have booked a longer session.

What is verification and how does it work?

Being verified unlocks extra features at Pirate, like Refer-a-Friend credits. You also need to have your identity verified before you book one of our DJ or recording studios, so it’s a worthwhile investment! Don’t worry, the process only takes two minutes.

TIP: Use your mobile, it's easier to get a clear shot of your face/document.

I'm having trouble with a code or lock — help?

Slow and gentle!  Our locks can be a little sensitive so put your code in slowly and as detailed on your booking — such as * 1 2 3 4 5 6. Don't forget the star!

You might be sent a four-digit code as a replacement for the booking, such as 1 2 3 4.  As above, press slowly and in this case, with no star, *.

If you're having trouble with the lock or code, use # to reset and try again. If this doesn't work, please contact us via WhatsApp and we'll help get you in as soon as possible.

WHAT IF SOMETHING BREAKS OR I NEED A SPARE?

Spares in every location! We carry lots of spares on our sites in case you need any further equipment or something has a fault. You'll also find lots of spare cables and mics in our rehearsal studios if needed.

Is something missing from the room or do you need an item from the Spares cupboard? Hit us up on Live Chat via the website, on WhatsApp or give us a call on 0333 241 9598. We will be more than happy to help.

How do I book a session?

Our live booking calendar shows the latest availability of studios. You can book anywhere from a year in advance right up until a few minutes beforehand. Some studios are popular, so we recommend securing your slot in advance.

TIP: Book enough time to set-up and get comfortable with the gear, and set-up/pack-down anything you’ve brought along. 

Are food and drinks available at the studios?

A handful of locations do have vending machines but we suggest you bring your own food and drinks with you. Most Pirate sites are near local shops for convenience, and several sites have a kettle and microwave. Check out our support hub or the location page for your Pirate studio for further details.
