Television Centre, Broadcasting complex in White City, London, United Kingdom.

Television Centre is a complex of connected buildings around a paved square in White City, west London. A brown brick block carries the white lettering "Television Centre" beside rows of small circular windows, and a curved red-panelled and glass building rises behind it. A taller brick structure with a rounded, glass-topped corner stands to the right, and planted terraces top the brick sections.

The BBC used this building from 1960 as the base for television production, creating programmes for British audiences. After 2013, the corporation moved its operations to Broadcasting House in the city centre.

The central ring and Studio 1 are Grade II listed, and the site's name survives in the white lettering on the brick facade. Since 2018 ITV programmes such as Good Morning Britain have been made in the studios, so BBC and ITV now record under the same roof. The 60th anniversary in June 2020 was marked with a special programme by the Royal Television Society.

The complex sits 4 miles (6 km) west of central London in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. White City station on the Central Line and Wood Lane on the Circle and Hammersmith & City Lines are the nearest Underground stops. The site is a mix of studios, flats, offices and shops, so expect security barriers at the entrances.

The layout comes from a sketch that architect Graham Dawbarn drew on an envelope. The question mark he scribbled became the circular design with extending arms.
