Bush House

Mike Jordan

I don’t know how many of you ever worked at Bush House back in the dim and distant past, but of course BBC moved out and now Kings College has taken over most of it.

They are now using it starting this year and on Monday 18th September 2017 limited public access was given to at least the southern end which used to have the superb BBC shop.

I went along for a look and met the graduate now doing work on utilisation of the exhibition space (I had met her on Open House Day when I went to the main part of the campus).  I discovered a special display of a bit about BBC presence there and took some photos of it which are available here:

They have put in loads of lecture rooms but kept the original decor where possible. There is a new restaurant in the basement (where the BBC one was?) Perhaps more areas will be accessible in future years.

They may have a special series of events about the BBC there at some time in October 2017.
