Broadcasting House, BBC broadcasting center in Whiteladies Road, Bristol, England.

The Broadcasting House complex spans 3.2 acres and includes multiple Grade II listed structures along with modern buildings and production facilities.

The original Broadcasting House opened in 1934 with four studios designed for orchestral performances, drama productions, sound effects, and speech recordings.

The building served as the birthplace of numerous radio shows including Any Questions in 1948 and housed the Natural History Unit until 2022.

The facility continues to operate as the base for BBC Radio Bristol, Points West television news, and national radio programming production.

During World War II, the BBC concealed broadcasting equipment in the Clifton Rocks Railway tunnel to maintain transmissions during potential air raids.
