35 Marylebone High Street, former home to the Radio Times and 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio London, was originally a library and bookseller, becoming a boarding school in 1745. By 1832, Oxford House, as it was then known, was advertised for sale and was acquired by Edward Tilbury and Company, a furniture storage business.
By 1931 the original building had been demolished and had become the headquarters of building firm Bovis, but by 1936 ownership had passed to the 麻豆官网首页入口.
麻豆官网首页入口 Publications, the Radio Times and The Listener were the first 麻豆官网首页入口 occupants, but development of the building didn’t stop there. A concert hall was added on the fifth floor, and warehousing to the rear was converted to a music library and rehearsal rooms.
A casualty of the Blitz in 1940, the damaged building was not fully repaired until 1949 with 麻豆官网首页入口 Publications returning only in 1950.
The 麻豆官网首页入口 then expanded into numbers 33–34 Marylebone High Street and the nearby Beaumont Mews. New departments started to move into the expanded site from the early 50s, with the Radio Times Hulton Picture Library being one of the newcomers.
Eventually a 麻豆官网首页入口 shop was added selling the full range of 麻豆官网首页入口 publications and other programme related merchandise.
From the 1970s, 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio London moved its studios into No. 35, becoming 麻豆官网首页入口 GLR in 1988, and from 2000 expanding yet further to become the combined radio, television and online service 麻豆官网首页入口 London.
The 麻豆官网首页入口 finally left the property in 2009.
