BBC studio and radio tours

For whom maybe interested, the BBC Tour website lists a comprehensive guide for all tours, including BBC Broadcasting House.. they commence on April 8th at 10.30am.. will you be amongst one of the first to tour the brand new studios?

Cheers

That seems like a very fake and dodge website there, so link removed. Official tour page is here:

*cough* they start before April 8th but exactly when I don't know.

That link was the same one you get when you click 'book now' on the link you posted. Isn't it?

So it is! Didn't see that, gosh how bad does that booking system look though? Compared with the BBC page.

Yes, I can see why you thought it wasn't the real deal.

I've booked my tour of broadcasting house, looking forward to seeing that new newsroom!

I went on one of the tours of New Broadcasting House today, having previously done a tour of Broadcasting House last year and Television Centre.

The tour started in the Media Café and covered:

- The old reception of Broadcasting House
- The making of a radio drama
- BBC Radio Theatre
- BBC News (from reception floor level - you do not go down to studio level) which includes having a go at a bulletin in the corner of reception
- BBC London Studio

The tour is essentially a hybrid of the two old Broadcasting House and TV Centre tours. Some aspects of the old Broadcasting House tour were absent such as a guide to the exterior of BH and going up to any of the upper floors of Broadcasting House and visiting the Womans Hour studio and balcony on which U2 played.

Given that the reception and media cafe of NBH is open to the public I'd say that if you've already done the old Broadcasting House tour you might as well just visit the media café of your own accord (the tour guide invited us to go back to the café if we wanted to) and have a look at the newsroom yourself.

So...........are you going to apologise to Freeview then?

So you cant see say studio c when not in use, that's a shame.

I doubt they'd let the great unwashed into the studios. God knows some idiot would put their coat onto the camera track and nearly destroy everything.

Isn't BBC London Radio in the same space as BBC London News?
