The Maude Goodman Studio was first the name of 7 Addison Crescent in Kensington, London, during the 1930's. It is not yet known when this address adopted the name but the Jewish lady painter Maude Goodman (also known as Matilda Scanes) moved into this house with her family some time during 1893 or 1894 and from there carried out her painting profession until her death in 1938.

It was during the 1930's too that Maude's daughter Sybil Scanes persued her singing career and together with others such as Dame Eva Turner they had annual Recital auditions at this address and this group was called the Recital Club. It is from references to the activities of this Recital Club's musical activities that it is known that the address was also referred to as the Maude Goodman Studio.

As of 2018, the name "Maude Goodman Studio" again resurfaced in an effort to bring to light the artistic works of Maude Goodman, making these available through digital platforms on the internet.
