Title: New Broadcasting House
Post by JonW on Nov 17^th, 2012, 6:45pm

Took a trip to London last week and walked up Regent Street for a look.
The building is extended to the right 'wrapping' itself around the church.
Certainly looks expensive.
What is the bit on the roof on the right ? Appears a bit like a cocktail glass to me with some lettering on it.
The Langham hotel certainly looks ulta swish.... not sure I could afford a glass of water there now ..... though many years ago I enjoyed plenty that was stonger at the club.
Incidently I never did see the ghost ...... did anyone here see it ?
I wonder if any guests at the hotel have !
BBC might have sold it off too !
Best wishes everyone , Jonathan Walker.

Note the usual disregard of accuracy. The web pages seem to have confused Media Village (White City) with Media City (Salford)!
