BBC Channel Review

Best quality television in the world.
The documentaries are delight.

Attended recording of finals of Brain of Britain in lovely auditorium after waiting in Cafe with view of the giant newsroom. Great way to spend an evening.

Saw BBC/NHK Broadcast of the Olympic opening ceremony in Super High Vision (8k) and 22.2 surround sound at Broadcasting House. There is no other word to describe the presentation, building and staff. That word is superb. The BBC is truly a national treasure

Visitors are given a very interesting and informative tour with opportunity to take part in a pretend news and weather broadcast and a drama with sound effects. The latter was quite hilarious.

Attending a free show/ live audience recording for one of their comedy shows. Was a great insight and a great show. The performers made it fun even with the retakes. Def worth visiting as its what our TV licence pays for!

Staff friendly and helpful, drinks all in bottles, no soda water, or draught tap water.

Focused interview about accessible facilities with well briefed news anchor on BBC News Channel in New Broadcasting House

Great place to visit. See if you can get into one of the tours

Very good to know where broadcasts around the world are made.

No point visiting unless you have an appointment or want to have a photo outside the building.

If you do have an appointment then the security process is quick and easy and the staff are friendly.

Surprised to see how hi-tech operations are. Even with robot cameras. Great journalistic work being done here.

Love the BBC .Proud to be a part if it from time to time

Attended the recording of a radio show in the radio theater.
Impressive building, friendly staff.

It's the BBC. How can you not love this fine British establishment. Well worth the license fee and always providing in-depth analysis of breaking news and events. Tourist or national, you'll enjoy a visit here.

You can see the news studio from the cafe! And take a picture in front of the Tardis. Also stand outside of the One Show!

Visited for radio recording. Good fun. Cafe good but queues and had to sit on the floor (ahead of recording)

Great place to see the BBC in action. Has a BBC store filled with the latest Dr Who goodies or go on a BBC walking tour

This is one of the sites for the BBC, principally the radio broadcasts. It's not really a tourist destination.

Nice building. I got to be in the audience of a show for free!

Still an invaluable and unique little gem in BBC's vast newsgathering set up, despite more than a decade of brutal cuts & downsizing. BBC Monitoring Service even lost its home of several decades in Caversham Park, near Reading last year and moved to the new broadcasting house in central London. Still remains a unique gem, albeit much smaller and with a diluted identify. Here are some pictures of the iconic Caversham Park.

Went to a radio recording here of the infinite monkey cage. Great evening, great staff and very well organised. If you can get tickets well worth the visit.

Time to abolish the forced licencing system that find this left wing biased outlet. The building itself is nice. You get to see some of the shows (particularly their One Show) live from the forecourt.

Lovely heritage site....listed building .... Nice cricket playing atmosphere

Awful company not worth paying a TV licence for, if you dont listen to your customers why should we pay?

Watched recording of John Finnemore's show. Excellent. Cafe overlooking BBC News area very interesting

Boring and pointless spot. Should've bee demolished.

Very impressive BBC building and lovely facilities for radio recording .

BBC Worldwide Service is a factory of qualitative news, video and radio programs. The building is surrounded by the aura of hard work for 24/7. Over 5K people work at BBC, so the 10-floors building provides all required amenities for all the departments of the world newsmaker.

Won the free tickets to see a taping of BBC Radio 4. It's really nice in the building!

Great free shows but need a better queuing system particularly in poor weather.

Lovely art deco theatre where BBC record there radio shows

The name of BIAFRA is written in the BBC house pavement, an artwork which was created by Canadian-born artist and architect Mark Pimlott. At the heart of BBC Broadcasting House, World reflects the global dimension of the BBC s broadcasting and consists of over 750 stone flags inscribed with place names from around the world, as well as those from history which the BIAFRA is amongst them . The artwork is enhanced by elegant steel lines of longitude and latitude.

Used to work here - the building has great facilities and has a very ''modern & important'' look to it. Oh, wait..

No. 1 company of UK. Best customer service, nice location

The radio theatre is a great venue, historic and providing a great atmosphere.

Fab show but poor pre show bar facilities. They quickly ran out of food very slow service and very long queues.

Since March 15, 1932.
A reference.

Always nice to go along to a recording in the Radio Theatre, media cafe is very nice

great value as audience member for radio recording (free!!) quality entertainment. But be prepared to queue 1: to get in, 2: for a ticket stamp, 3: to get back in after you have dashed out for something to eat ... but worth it

Great historic building to visit and also see the latest TV technology.

Brilliant visit to a live recording of a radio show. Free tickets from the BBC website, well worth the journey from the Midlands. What a wonderful experience it was. Not only did we get to see a favourite author, Neil Gaiman, but also his incredible guests, among who was Peter Capaldi. What a treat!

Broadcasting House is a fun place to visit, although not normally open to the public I don't think. Iconic building!

Impressive office with BBC news live broadcasting in the centre

Free tickets to an amazing John Robins gig and we were treated well by BBC staff

I think every journalist would like to work here or at least once to visit this gigantic news production company.

I often come to watch the recording of my favourite radio shows, it's always a fun experience. Don't forget that you need to apply for the (free) tickets on the BBC website a few weeks in advance.

The home of Broadcasting. The tours are very informative, you get the chance of trying reading news or forecasting. Layer there's a chance to try a radio play.
Go to watch a radio show being recorded, or programmes such as The One Show.
The waiting area includes a decent Costa Coffee, and views across the newsroom.

Do you really need a review to know why this place is good?

Very interesting place, friendly. Nice cafe but not open to the public, need a pass.

If you go inside you realise W1 wasn't actually a parody.

Pretty cool regardless of how much you like the show. You get to watch journalists doing stuff

Iconic building in downtown London. Shame you can't tour the studios etc any longer so there isn't a whole lot to see. You can however view the BBC news and weather studies from behind a large glass wall adjacent to a cafe.

Flying visit, teeming with activity. Walked from Euston, shorter than the tube!

Received a tour of the place, incredibly modern and beautiful.
