The Bakery was a recording studio located at 4A Fleet Road, Hampstead, London, England. It was 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's name came from being set inside an old bakery. Its foundation coincided with Phil Harvey rejoining the group for Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008). Two years later, Coldplay arranged the Beehive, a complementary building located at 17 Fleet Road. Both facilities were used in ensuing albums, though the Bakery closed in 2024.
