It was done in 2006 I think. They visited Townhouse Studios, which I did too. But unfortunately it was converted into luxury homes. Now it's called Townhouse Mews.

Here's my pic from the last month. This is the only hint of the old Townhouse Studios now:

I meant the guys hosting it. I think I bought it in about 2010? It somehow dodged multiple trips to the charity shop with DVDs and CDs.
I've actually been lucky enough to do work in Trident (ex), De Lane Lea and Maida Vale 4. Should dig out some pictures.

Yeah, 2 guys are doing it basically, but at the end Jacky Smith replaces one of him.
When did you work in Trident, De Lane Lea and Maida Vale? I'd love to see some pictures!
There was that bit when they showed Trident Studios inside. It was nice. Nowadays it's a flat, isn't it? When I was there some guy was inside watching TV but when he spotted me doing photos, he switched off the lighs and went somewhere else. There is a David Bowie blue plaque on the building. But even from the outside, the stairs leading to the studio area are visible.

This is it:

There's a media company in there somewhere but yeah the inside layout has been obliterated.
The original Marquee is just round the corner too. The bar it is now still has the recognisable shape so well worth a visit.

I thought the Weatherspoons, if that's the pub in question, wasn't the original Marquee where Queen played but the later Marquee where I saw The Cross & Smile & Roger Daltrey as a last minute BM replacement ....

No, the one I'm talking about is just around the corner from ex-Trident on Wardour St. Its replacement (mid 80s?) is around several corners on Charing Cross Road. Although is also recognisable inside.
The one after that was 3 floors up in Leicester Square and then in Islington. I played at those ones. A slightly different vibe to the original :)

6. Hyde Park - Queen reportedly played at Marble Arch corner. You can go there by bus and leave the bus literally on the other side of the road at the corner.! [/QUOTE]
They played on a site called The Cockpit which is in the centre of the park not near Marble Arch.
The site was often used for events in the 60's and early 70's but hadn't been used by a band since The Stones played Hyde Park. Queen were the last band to play there. Later shows in the park have been on the current concert site near Park Lane

Yeah the current Hyde Park site is further down. I've also played there believe it or not.

This is good map of Hyde Park. Now looking at this video I can see it (at 6:10, or 7:40):

So, to be more precise, was the stage at the location of Norwegian War Memorial?

Here's the Marquee Club at 90 Wardour Street. So does it mean you can still go inside? It didn't look like it was open when I was there (Sunday evening). How much did it change inside?

You want the door to the left and down the stairs. Once you're in there you can see the basic layout is the same even without having seen it in it's heyday. I think when I went (2012?) the stage was even in the same place and a salsa band were playing.

Yes but I believe the War Memorial and Serpentine were in the very large back stage area.
If you look at photos from that day ( www.queenlive.ca ) you will notice that the stage is facing an area framed by trees and not the wide open space you'd expect.

Nice! Hopefully I'll have another opportunity to go there.
