Aunties’ London – Roundabout the BBC

Oxford Circus Underground station (exit 8), London

Guided by Simon W.

And in a packed programme today, we’ll discover a Grade I listed eighteenth-century townhouse, a Regency church which is somewhat ‘kinky’…

and London’s first ‘grand hotel’, where Sherlock Holmes’ creator had a ‘Wilde’ time.

And all of these are ‘warm-ups’ counting down to our main feature today:

a visit to ‘Auntie Beeb,’ home of the BBC. You’ll see the original glorious Art Deco building whose statues caused a sensation

and discover the early days of broadcasting. We’ll enter the newly transformed Broadcasting House where you’ll get a glimpse of the state of the art 24-hour live Newsroom to witness 21st-century broadcasting at its best.

For good measure, it’s also a “world” and a “world-historical” tour. Let alone a satellite’s eye view of what’s happened down here and where it happened.

In the words of Lord Reith, the BBC’s first Director-General this walk will ‘inform, educate and entertain!’

That’s a guarantee, a can’t miss – not least because the walk’s guided by Simon W., the BBC’s star in-house guide!

AUNTIES’ LONDON – THE PRACTICALS

Aunties’ London takes place at TBA. To go on Aunties’ London meet Simon W. just outside exit 8 of Oxford Circus Tube.

“Even jaded Londoners find these London Walks a source of astonishing gems of information about the city in which they live.”  Daily Mail, Top London Treats

“The original and best – there are several companies offering walking tours of London but London Walks (London’s oldest) is easily the pick of the bunch”  London, Cadogan Guide
