Historic BBC Studio Tours

John Johnson and Alfred Meeson, 1873

Alexandra Palace, Alexandra Palace Way, Wood Green, N22 7AY

We are offering people a rare glimpse of the birthplace of television with guided tours of Studios A & B. The BBC first arrived at the Palace in 1935, as the race to broadcast via the latest innovation in entertainment – television – gathered pace. The corporation leased the entire East Wing of the Palace, with former dining rooms transformed into Studios.
