Tour BBC’s Broadcasting House
Where: BBC Broadcasting House, Portland Place
How much: Prices range from £13.75 to £9.25

I overhear them speaking in American accents and someone says that it is All Time Low. They’re taking pictures with those girls and one of them starts crying as the band member walks away. I’m not interested in said band, I have no idea who they are – perhaps they are All Time Low? As a journalism student, I found myself more interested in taking a picture of the entrance to Radio 1’s studio.
