BBC Broadcasting House

BBC Shows and Tours offer you the opportunity to take a tour or see a show at the BBC's newly redeveloped Worldwide headquarters in the heart of London! The famous BBC Radio Theatre is home to many popular BBC Radio Shows. Shows and tours MUST be booked in advance.Tours are led by our entertaining and informative guides who will bring to life the work of the BBC's brand new, state of the art, multimedia broadcasting centre in the heart of London. On a tour some of the things you're likely to experience include a camera's eye view via our big screen into some of the studios broadcasting to the nation, including television and radio news studios, as well as hearing about the rich history of the building and the BBC. You'll look down on our new state of the art newsroom and there will be the opportunity to have a go at reading the news and weather yourself on our interactive news set! We'll tell you about how BBC Radio Drama is made and you'll be able to have a go at making your very own radio play complete with music and sound effects! On some but not all tours, you may get the chance to peek into the newly restored Radio Theatre (production schedules permitting) where Radio 2 concerts and popular radio comedy shows such as Just a Minute, the News Quiz and The Now Show have recently been recorded. We're sorry, but we can't admit babies, or children under 9, on this tour.Your tour will last approximately one and a half hours.Please remember that Broadcasting House is a working building so no two tours are the same, but they will always be informative, interesting and fun.
