Excerpt: Metropolis Group is a music production and entertainment industry company established in 1989 by Gary Langan, Carey Taylor and Karin Clayton. It is located in The Power House, a Grade II listed building, at 70 Chiswick High Road in Chiswick, London, England.

Being mainly used as a storage facility, the Powerhouse gradually fell into disrepair. London Transport (by then the owners) decided to redevelop the site. This led to an outcry and the Victorian Society campaigned for the protection of the building from the developers, which in turn led to the building being listed, one of the first Victorian buildings to be so nominated, and the first that was built in the 20th century.

Metropolis Studios was the first division to be established of Metropolis Group and is the backbone of the building. It consists of 4 recording and mixing studios and 4 production rooms and is the largest independent recording facility in Europe. Studio A is the large
