Lonely Planet review

Broadcasting House is the iconic building from which the BBC began radio broadcasting in 1932, and where much of the BBC's radio output still comes from. There's a shop stocking any number of products relating to BBC programmes, even though the majority of the Beeb's output is produced in the corporation's glassy complex in Shepherd's Bush (hop on the website if you want to get tickets to a recording).

Broadcasting House is currently having a vast extension built onto it, to where the World Service is scheduled to relocate when its lease on its current premises, Bush House on the Strand, expires in 2008.
