Maida Vale studios 30 October 1934
The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Maida Vale building has witnessed every sort of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ music making - from Pink Floyd to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Symphony Orchestra! Acquired in response to the rapidly increasing requirements of broadcasting in the early 30s, it is in fact one of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's earliest premises, pre-dating Broadcasting House in central London. It was the centre of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ radio news service during the Second World War, and like Broadcasting House, the site had to be repaired after taking a direct hit during the London Blitz.
