Available for over a year

A tour of Caversham Park before it closes - the home of BBC Monitoring - a historical BBC World Service department which has been monitoring some of the world’s most seismic events for 75 years. Caversham Park became the BBC Monitoring Headquarters in 1941 and in light of recent news that, due to a £4million pound funding cut, it’ll be closing its doors for good, Rajan Datar visits the iconic building. Coordinating Editor, Chris Greenway gives a tour of the building and a sense of its history, while Lina Shaikouni gives a taste of what the service provides today.
