The BBC Media Village was opened in 2004 and is the second phase of development at BBC White City. It built on the same site as the 1908_Summer_Olympics and parts of the swimming pool was discovered when the foundations were laid.

Two main buildings for staff are the "Broadcast Centre" which houses the BBC's new digital television broadcast facilities, and the "Media Centre" which provides office accommodation for BBC staff, many in the new media. The Energy Centre provides services to the entire site.

The buildings were opened to the public as part London Open House in September 2004. Public access is available to shops, bars and other retail outlets.
