BBC Channel Reviews

BBC Audience team are polite and courteous. The few times I have been here have been enjoyable. The radio theatre has plenty of seating with unimpeded viewing. The cafe / waiting area has a small shop with BBC nicnacs

Absolutely chic building. Been here twice and my favourite bit is the entrance where all the cities are etched in the ground. Finding a city you love is a fun little "game" everyone ends up doing as they walk up to the impressive building.

Magical experience for me doing the tour as it's always been my dream to be on the inside of BBC.

Exudes a sense of decades of history. All of which is about to come to an end.

Excellent place for celebrity spotting daily appearances paparazzi everywhere

A great experience, a building which encompasses excellence and professionalism in journalism.

Had a nice day there my friend gave me a tour round

Producers of Masterchef, where a white male is allowed to mansplain how a traditional Malaysian dish is made. Also allows racist Nigel Farage to spout his fake news nonsense multiple times.

Makes one feel proud for the exceptional value for money from our licence fee

It is the headquarters of the BBC in London from which they broadcast news, information and entertainment programs, radio programs. It is not possible to visit it from the inside, but it is possible to enter the internal bar and have a coffee directly overlooking the famous BBC News red newsroom, where you will see journalists at work preparing newscasts.

The wife wanted to see the one show being broadcast which you can see from the outside so she was very happy.

A great place to visit and to use their cafe and witness through the large windows the studio below which we are all familiar with at the beginning at the 10.00 clock news.

Walk by it quite often, Its a fantastic building, really fits in.

reviewed as part of a tour in July 2015. You enter by the side door and wait to be picked up in a cafe and shop area overlooking the newsroom. The tour lasts 90 minutes and learned a fair few things I didn't know. There's also an interactive element with green screen presenting and radio play. Your experience may depend on the size of group you go with - i was lucky that there were only 3 of us, a bigger group might feel less personal.

A very interesting experience if you get to visit. I went to the BBC radio 4 recording of Wordsholics (free - look on the BBC be in the audience website!) and found the experience very enjoyable and fun!

It really is here and is a building. areas around it are good for sitting and chatting

Wonderful place to be, looks great inside and out, in a great area too.

I regularly come to the BBC to see recordings of the Friday Night Comedies. A lot of waiting around, but we'll worth it.

The Media Cafe is in a similar price change to surrounding premises. The staff are polite anf friendly.

The staff at the BBC itself have always been pleasant and eager to help with any issues.

- went to be part of the BBC One Show audience for Lenny Henry's 60th birthday celebration

Absolutely amazing time! Beautiful building with fascinating people!

The home of the great British Broadcasting Corporation... there is a Tardis in reception for you Dr Who fans and a souvenirs shop too.

I wouldn't know what this place is like!! My friend who got the (free) tickets to be in the 'laugh recorder audience' (we were to watch a pre-recorded programme and they would record our laughter to dub in later!) forgot to tell me they'd asked for us to take photo ID. I had therefore not taken any with me.
After queueing for some considerable time, they wouldn't let me in despite my having a photo is my passport page on my phone and us having the print-at-home tickets they'd sent us.


Moral of the story? If you're visiting the BBC for ANY reason, make sure you have photo ID on you!!!

Interesting place. We found biggest part of the cities where we was before, but can't find the Minsk. What means all this cities on the ground concrete?

I enjoyed the tour with my mates there. Best journalists in the world. Although I still wonder how this kind of working space works...

The radio theatre is a wonderful venue, and you can see the newsroom from the cafe.

Ok cafe but gets very busy when a show is being recorded and the can be a bit of a wait.

Been to a couple of radio comedy recordings, Good entertainment, bar reasonably priced which is good.

Lousy reception. More security than Heathrow just to watch a show being recorded. Still, it's free.

Great to go and see a radio show being recorded and see inside the BBC. you can sign up for tickets on the BBC website.

The hub of the British Media Powerhouse.
Great place to work, awesome building.

Not much to see really. It's a factory where TV news is made and security is so tight it's hard to gain access

Very interesting place to visit. The staff were all very polite and helpful. Good wheelchair access.

Great looking building and home to my favourite British institution.

We attended a taping of a Radio 4 program featuring the Festival of the Spoken Nerd. The evening was well organised and a lot of fun. I've attended a few recordings over the years, and the BBC has improved how they do things. I shall definitely apply for tickets more often.
