BBC White City

BBC White City refers both to a collection of BBC buildings at Wood Lane, White City in west London, and an office building (now known as White City One) opened in 1990 within that collection of buildings. White City One houses most of the BBC's current affairs and factual and learning programmes, such as "Panorama, Top Gear, Watchdog" and many others.

The buildings are on the site of the Franco-British exhibition of 1908 and the White City Stadium, which hosted the 1908 Summer Olympics. [cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/heritage/in_depth/buildings/white_city.shtml|title=BBC buildings|accessdate=2007-11-05]

A second phase of buildings was opened in 2004, known as the BBC Media Village. This new phase consists of the Broadcast Centre, the Media Centre, and two other office buildings: the North and South Perimeter buildings.

BBC White city is a short distance away from BBC Television Centre.
