BBC Tours
Discover the inside story of BBC Broadcasting House with a fascinating tour of the first ever purpose-built broadcast centre in Britain. Built in glorious art-deco style in 1932, the building has been undergoing sympathetic restoration and modernisation. The tours, conducted by the BBC´s award-winning guides, are likely to include art-deco highlights, such as the famous main reception with its original mosaic floor; visits to the newly restored Radio Theatre, home to such iconic shows as The Goons and The News Quiz, the Council Chamber, where BBC Governers and Board meetings used to take place, and the new digital radio studios, where Radio 3 and 4 are recorded; and a chance to hear the history of the famous Eric Gill sculptures that decorate the front of the building. From summer 2008, the tours will also offer the chance to take part in a fully interactive Radio Drama Experience.
