EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of BBC Broadcasting House in Portland Place, London, as it stood proudly around the time of its completion in 1932. The Beeb's iconic headquarters, designed by the esteemed architects Percy and Sylvia Thompson, is a striking blend of modern and classical architecture, with its distinctive neoclassical façade adorned with grand columns and intricate detailing. Situated on the right side of the image, All Souls Church, with its tall, elegant spire, adds a sense of history and tradition to the scene. The two structures, though vastly different in design, harmoniously coexist, reflecting the diverse architectural landscape of London during the 1930s. The wide, tree-lined Portland Place road, with its elegant street lamps, creates a sense of grandeur and importance, further emphasizing the significance of the broadcasting house as a hub of cultural and informational exchange. The photograph, taken circa 1932, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of innovation and progress in the world of broadcasting. This photograph, by Mary Evans / Pharcide from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the rich architectural heritage of London and the enduring allure of the BBC Broadcasting House, which continues to be a beloved symbol of British culture and broadcasting excellence.
