Every district of London can lay claim to a distinguished line of notable residents.  Estate agents in Maida Vale will be quick to tell you that their particular district of West London can compete as well as any other in the celebrity inhabitant stakes. Indeed, letting agents near Maida Vale have had many clients who have been household names. Residents in the public eye have included Alec Guinness,   Joan Collins, Jennifer Saunders, Kate Moss and computing genius Alan Turing; but it is in the realm of popular music that the area can really claim to have distinguished itself. Bj?rk, The Clash’s Joe Strummer, Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker, Robert Smith from The Cure, Paul Weller and Pink Floyd’s legendary guitarist David Gilmour have all made the Vale their home at one time or another.

But what even some of the most well-informed letting agents from Maida Vale don’t know is that some of the most iconic music of our time was first delivered to the public from the area. The BBC’s studio on Delaware Road may appear to be an unremarkable building, but it was here that John Peel recorded his seminal Peel Sessions which launched the career of many – then unknown – bands. Acts including Blur, Black Sabbath, Depeche Mode and some chap called Jimi Hendrix were all brought to the attention of British music fans for the first time from this small unassuming studio.

However it is not just in pop music that the Vale played a significant role. One of the most haunting and memorable pieces of music composed in the 20th Century was created in the Maida Vale Studio. This building was also home to the BBC’s Radiophonic Workshop, and it was here that Ron Gainer and Delia Derbyshire created the Dr Who theme tune in 1963. Perhaps estate agents in Maida Vale should inform their clients that without Maida Vale our Saturday teatimes would never have sounded the same.
