BBC White City refers both to a collection of BBC buildings at Wood Lane, White City in west London, and an office building (now known as White City One) opened in 1990 within that collection of buildings. White City One houses most of the BBC's current affairs and factual and learning programmes, such as Panorama, Top Gear, Watchdog and many others.
BBC White City is a short distance away from BBC Television Centre. The BBC is set to leave White City, with the buildings being demolished or converted into a University campus.
