Summary
| Description |
English: Broadcasting House Broadcasting House is the headquarters and registered office of the BBC in Portland Place, London. It is home to BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4, and BBC 7. (Nearby on Great Portland Street in Yalding House is BBC Radio 1 and BBC 1Xtra. Next door in Western House is BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music.) Architect G Val Myer designed the building in collaboration with the BBC's civil engineer, M T Tudsbery. The interiors are the work of the Australian-Irish architect Raymond McGrath. He set up and directed a team that included Serge Chermayeff and Wells Coates and designed the vaudeville studio, the associated green and dressing rooms, and the dance and chamber music studios in a flowing Art Deco style. It was later said of his efforts that "the designs for the BBC gave the first real fillip to industrial design in England". Broadcasting House was officially opened on May 14, 1932 and is now grade II* listed. |
