Refrigerator Ventilating Plant Boiler House Lounge Lounge Dressing Rooms Studio BB Studio BA The tower contained just two studios in the sub-basement. BA was the Vaudeville studio but was only going to remain so for a few years.

The second studio was BB. Like BA it had a small gallery for audiences. Until 1934 it was used for experimental television broadcasts.


All around the tower were the boiler room, ventilation plant, etc. It's not clear exactly where the various items of ventilation plant shown on the second services page actually were, so just one area has been highlighted in the plan.
