The BBC Television Center is a massive corporate arcology in the center of London. Having razed several low income neighborhoods to build it, the BBC calls it home. Around it is an assembly of military and police forces to defend it from criticism. The display of force has been likened to the Nuremberg rallies that Nazi Germany held.

| - The BBC Television Centre was the headquarters of BBC Television from 1960-2013. It opened on June 29, 1960, and became one of the most largest, and readily recognisable facilities in the world. It is also known as the second-oldest operational television studio in the UK, after Granada Studios where the BBC's main commericial rival, Granada Television is based for many decades. Most of the BBC's national television and radio news output came from the Television Centre (TVC) with most recorded television output from the nearby Broadcast Centre at 201 Wood Lane, care of Red Bee Media. It was announced on September 21, 2010 that Television Centre will be closing at 2013 and the BBC will cease broadcasting there. On 13 June 2011 the BBC announced that the Television Centre was on the market, and that it was 'inviting bid proposals from people looking for a conventional, freehold property or those interested in a joint venture', suggesting that it may yet remain connected to the BBC. Radio and TV news departments of the BBC moved to Broadcasting House in central London, the old home of BBC Radio, as part of a reorganisation. On 16 July 2012 it was announced that the complex had been sold to property developers Stanhope plc for around £200 million. BBC News moved to new facilities in Broadcasting House on 18 March 2013, but the building remained in active use with many programmes filming in the studios until it closed officially on 31 March 2013.
