The Bakery is a recording studio at 4A Fleet Road, Hampstead, London, England. It was first established in 2006 by British rock band Coldplay, as they wanted to have a place where they could "rehearse, write, work on artwork or just relax", following the release of X&Y (2005). The studio was built inside an old bakery and its foundation coincided with Phil Harvey's return to the group. Since Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), the place has been widely used for their projects. Coldplay then set up the Beehive in 2010, which serves as a sister building to the Bakery and was described as a larger and more modern facility.
