The BBC has sold its historic venue to a partnership that includes Zimmer and producers Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner. The north-west London recording space, which the BBC has owned and operated since the 1930s has hosted thousands of rock and pop performances from artists including the Beatles, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Dusty Springfield, Beyoncé and Adele. It was also the home of the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the experimental BBC Radiophonic Workshop - where the Doctor Who theme was recorded.
