One Night Only: A Stay at Abbey Road Studios

WORDS Lindi Brownell Meiring

The last time someone requested a bed to be installed at London’s iconic Abbey Road Studios was in the summer of 1969. Now, thanks to Airbnb, the renowned music studio will be transformed into a bedroom for the night. Better yet, you could win the chance to stay there.

Your host? Superstar producer and DJ Mark Ronson. The experience? Staying in the spot where Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon was recorded, where Amy Winehouse recorded her last ever song with Tony Bennett, and where The Beatles worked on The White Album. When you arrive, Mark Ronson will actually take you on an all-access tour of the 19th century, four-storey townhouse.

“Unless you are a recording artist, it is almost impossible to get inside Abbey Road Studios,” says James McClure, Airbnb’s General Manager for Northern Europe. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for a music lover to cross its threshold and unearth thousands of stories that live within its walls. Guests will be able to enjoy everything that the studios have to offer, including the option to record during the stay.”
