Frequently Asked Questions
What is Arch 79 Studio?
Arch 79 Studio is a membership-based music studio in Bethnal Green, London, offering long-term shared spaces for bands, drummers, producers and solo musicians. Rather than booking by the hour, members enjoy regular weekly access to fully equipped creative spaces.
How does membership work?
Choose the space that best suits your needs—Band Room, Drum Booth or Production Room—and become a member on a monthly rolling contract.
Each membership includes up to 15 hours of studio time per week, flexible online booking, secure self-access, private storage and all the benefits included with your chosen space.
Can I use all of the rooms with one membership?
No. Each membership is linked to one room type.
This allows us to tailor the booking system to each space and provide a consistent experience with fair access for all members.

Can I choose different rehearsal times every week?
Yes.
Your booking schedule is flexible, allowing you to choose sessions that fit your routine, subject to your membership's booking system and availability.
