Highbury New Park accommodated the Wessex Studios until 2005. The music studios were established by Sir George Martin, the Beatles producer. He grew up in Highbury, in the Drayton Park. Some of the most famous albums in the world were recorded in the Wessex Studios. They were created by bands like The Clash, Queen, The Sex Pistols, The Rolling Stones or Genesis. Currently, the building is called The Recording Studio and it is a block of apartments.

There was also a TV / movie studio located in Highbury New Park. They also featured a training school. In the beginning, the building housed a music conservatoire, but in 1926, it was converted into a recording studio. They were transformed into the Highbury Studios in 1933 and the Rank Organisation purchased them in 1945. In 1960, the studios were demolished and they were replaced by a modern block of flats, Athenaeum Court.

Highbury has been home to numerous famous residents such as the Beatles producer George Martin, the Pet Shop Boys member Chris Lowe, the actress Anna Popplewell, the comedian lana Davies, the actor Rowan Atkinson, the singer Leona Lewis and the Radiohead guitarist Ed O’Brien.
