That's the E.M.I. studio at Abbey Road in London.

Great photo--thanks for posting it!

Re: Columbia recording session.
The Gramophone Company and Columbia UK merged in 1931 to form EMI. It was at that time the Gramophone Company opened their Abbey Road Studio. Columbia left the Petty France facility where Henry Wood made his earloer recordings and must have hence forth recorded at Abbey Road.
