What it's famous for
White City takes its name from the gleaming white exhibition buildings erected for the Franco-British Exhibition of 1908, which also hosted that year's Olympic Games at the purpose-built White City Stadium. The area later became synonymous with the BBC Television Centre on Wood Lane — an iconic circular building that housed decades of landmark British broadcasting and has since been converted into a creative and residential destination. Today White City is home to the White City Place innovation campus, Imperial College London's White City campus, and the giant Westfield London shopping centre, making it one of the most recognisable regeneration stories in the capital.
