Lyndhurst Hall, Air Recording Studios

Lyndhurst Hall, originally a Congregational church built between 1883 and 1884 by Alfred Waterhouse, is now a recording studio. It features a church hall at the rear, with additions made in 1905 by Spalding & Spalding. The building is constructed from purple Luton brick, accented with red brick and terracotta dressings, and has tiled gabled roofs topped with a central hexagonal roof that culminates in a lantern with louvred arcading and a pyramidal roof.

Designed in the Romanesque style, the structure has an irregular hexagonal plan with gabled frontages on each side. Each gabled front has three large round-arched lancets above four smaller arcaded lancets, and the gable apexes are adorned with a band of seven arcaded lancets set below diaper work. There are two entrances at the angles, each featuring a gabled portico with a moulded round-arch entrance flanked by buttresses, and above each entrance are two lancets in a shallow round-arched recess. The main entrance is marked by an octagonal stair-tower with round-arched lancets, which is stepped at the lower storey.

Inside, the central plan includes galleries on three sides and showcases polychrome banded brickwork, although much of it is currently painted over. The attached church hall at the rear is designed in a similar style, creating a cohesive part of the overall composition.
