Towards the end of the summer<<<<<August we have an open weekend in London when many buildings are opened up for public visits. Last year I queued for about 2 hours with a lot of others for a guided tour of Bush House (knowing it would be the last time). We wandered the corridors and spent 15 minutes or so in one of the bigger studios. Everyone there, staff as well, were enjoying the nostalgia and sad to see the passing.
The new wing at the other BH (Broadcasting House) looks very dramatic in the evening when walking up Regent St. Hopefully those that remain will soon get into the swing of it there.
