Broadcasting House London

The home of BBC Radio, Broadcasting House, in the heart of London's West End, is being reinvented – from heritage to high definition!

The first ever purpose-built broadcast centre in the UK, this Grade II* listed building is in the middle of a major refurbishment and modernisation project.

The original building (1932) has now been carefully restored and completely modernised as an appropriate home for 21st-century radio. It was officially reopened by HM The Queen on 20 April 2006. Popular Radio 4 and Radio 3 programmes – from Woman's Hour, You And Yours and Front Row to Late Junction and Composer Of The Week – now broadcast from here, all in new digital formats.

From 2007, the modernised Radio Theatre goes live, and you'll be able to get free tickets for talk shows, pop music and live entertainment events.

And by 2010, a brand new extension will be added, housing BBC News and BBC World Service and creating the largest live newsroom in the world.
