BBC Broadcasting House Tour



The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is UK's tax-funded media source. They provide television, radio and news to every citizen of the UK who pays taxes. A unique opportunity while in London, is to tour the BBC Broadcasting House and get a behind the scenes look at some of their activities. This tour can be booked online, and makes a great day trip for groups. On the tour, you will have a chance to see the BBC news room, learn about radio programs, hear some of the BBC's history and gain backstage access to its recording studios.

The Newsroom.
 This tour is a must for any broadcasting buff or someone seeking a job in Journalism. The tour guides are friendly and willing to answer questions from the group. The tour itself includes some unique highlights, including a chance to participate in a radio broadcast and perform a mock television news broadcast. The highlight of the tour comes at the end, when the guides lead you to an overlook of the BBC's news room, a bustling headquarters of the corporation. This tour is highly recommended, especially for TV/radio buffs.
