London Studio Centre was founded in 1978 by Bridget Espinosa, artistic director of the Bush Davies Ballet School and previously of the Elmhurst Ballet School. The Espinosa family is descended from the dancer Léon Espinosa (1825–1903). Elizabeth Hurley, who later became one of the school's most famous students, was expelled for non-attendance in 1986. From 1995, Bachelor of Arts degrees were awarded to students by Middlesex University, and then in 2004 this was replaced by an affiliation for the same purpose with the University of the Arts London, but with effect from 2013 the Middlesex University partnership was reinstated. The school was based at 42-50 York Way, Kings Cross, London, from 1986 to 2012, when it moved to occupy rooms and share other facilities in the Artsdepot building in North Finchley, its present home.

London Studio Centre's facilities at artsdepot include a lecture room, ten dance studios, a library, and other rooms for singing and drama. It also has shared use of the on-site Pentland Theatre and Studio Theatre.
