Andrew Weatherall Has Been Forced Out of His East London Studio

Scrutton Street Studios has been closed due to property development.

Scrutton Street Studios, located in East London, has been closed due to property development. The space has been used by a number of artists including Daniel Avery, Richard Fearless, and most notably Andrew Weatherall. The bearded virtuoso has been producing from the studio for twenty years so this marks a genuine shift in the creative landscape of East London, as well as drawing attention to just how far creative spaces are being pushed out of London in favour of high end developments.

We visited Andrew at his studio a couple of years ago, and it is clear in the film we made with him just how important the space was to both his creative process, and the processes of many others. As he puts it in the film, "It's a nice place to come to work, even if I'm not actually making music it's always quite inspirational."
