White City Place

The BBC sold the majority of buildings on the site in 2015 and it was renamed White City Place by new owners Stanhope and Mitsui Fudosan.

[1][2] The first building on the site, BBC White City, was designed by architects Scott Brownrigg & Turner and was opened in 1990.

[6] It housed most of the BBC's current affairs and factual and learning programmes, such as Panorama, Top Gear (where it featured in a segment about the Peel P50),[7] Watchdog and many others.

"[9] Rachid Errtibi, a facilities coordinator at the BBC reflected that "most staff disliked the White City building for one reason or another [but] the building did have a unique character, and was flexible enough to accommodate any new departments at short notice – achieved simply and quickly by putting up a few glass partition panels and rearranging furniture, at minimum cost.

[3][11] To pay for construction costs, the BBC signed a 30-year deal with Land Securities Trillium, Britain's largest property developer.

[13] A further planned building, the Music Box, designed by Foreign Office Architects was originally scheduled for opening in 2006, but was cancelled in 2008 before construction began.

[8] At the time of its closure in July 2015, Garden House was mainly occupied by Atos and associated sub-contractors' teams following the sale of BBC Technology to Siemens in 2004.

The One Show studio was located in the Energy Centre from 2007 to 2013 before moving to the newly built Peel Wing of Broadcasting House.

[18][19][20] In March 2019, BBC Research & Development moved into the Lighthouse building, having vacated Centre House on Wood Lane.
