Egton House

Egton House in Langham Street in Central London was home to BBC Radio 1 for many years until 1996.

Radio 1 moved to Yalding House on Great Portland Street in 1996, and Egton House was demolished in 2003 to make way for the new Egton Wing of BBC Broadcasting House.

Jo Whiley was the last presenter to broadcast from Egton House (12pm-2pm on Weds 9th October 1996).

Egton House was also home to the BBC Gramophone Library (Gram Library). A collection of over 1 million records and CD's. The 78 collection was held in the basement of The Langham which is across the road.
