The wonderfully iconic BBC TV centre is being preserved and used to house several exclusive hotels.
Although it is directly opposite Wood Lane tube station (Hammersmith & City Line), - it is extremely difficult to access by car, . . . until you know how.
The old access ways have been built over (very attractively) to form a kind of piazza.
There is a very short access road that hairpins immediately through 180 degrees. However, there is -zero- signage. Yes that's right, - a big fat zippo; nada; nothing.
Worse! This access road only has a very shallow curb to define it, and the roadway is precisely the same colour as the walkway and piazza next to it. Even the curb is colour matched.
Very pretty - but also very counterintuitive if you're driving up Wood Lane looking for somewhere to drop passengers with luggage!!!
In fact the -only- way to do so is to look for this carefully camouflaged access road, and turn into it, to come off the main road, - because you certainly can't stop on Wood Lane!
The centre has -no- car park you can use. You have to use the short access road to drop your passengers, and then proceed to the nearby Westfield Mall, and park there. Warning: it's a bit of a walk from the mall car park.
