Sarm Studios

Sarm Studios (also credited as S.A.R.M. Studio) is an independent recording studio in London. Originally founded in east London in 1973, the studio's original location was renamed Sarm West Studios. Sarm Studios original locations were eventually succeeded by the Sarm Music Village complex.

Sarm Studios was founded at 9-13 Osborn Street in Aldgate, in the building formerly occupied by the City Of London Recording Studios, which recorded radio programs and narration for newsreels from 1960 until going out of business in 1972. Shortly thereafter, Gary Lyons and Barry Ainsworth, two recording engineers who had been operating a tape copying service called Sound and Recording Mobiles, purchased the facility with financial backing from businessman David Sinclair and named it using an acronym of their business name, opening SARM in July 1973.
