THE TRANSMISSION GALLERY

This West London relay is located on top of the Citibank building, next door to the Lyric Theatre. The tx aerial is of the same type as at Parkend (4 bow-tie dipoles) You can't see the RBL antenna in these pics, but it must be up there somewhere!

Since Mark Carver took his pictures Citibank seem to have vacated the building, which is called One Hammersmith Grove. Their corporate sign has now been removed.

The TX bowties are facing west, with a log periodic RX on Crystal Palace to the south east of the site.

Looking south east from the site towards central Hammersmith

Looking south east, Croydon transmitter visible. Crystal Palace is just to the left, behind the plastic shrouded building

Looking south towards the Thames and Fulham

Looking north west towards Wembley Stadium

Looking east. The tube lines run adjacent to the north side of the transmitter building. Here they can be seen disappearing into the tunnel on the approach to Hammersmith Station, with the TX just right of frame

Looking west. The middle two lines are the Picadilly line, which heads out towards Heathrow. The outer lines are the District line heading towards Ealing Broadway and Richmond. The station is Ravenscourt Park.
