Riverside Studios

Riverside Studios are primarily television studios on Crisp Road in the London borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. It was the principal, though by no means exclusive, home to studio recording for Doctor Who from the second-early fourth seasons of the original run. It is perhaps most significant to historians of the programme as the location where the first regeneration scene was filmed.

It is proximate to BBC Television Centre and the former site of Lime Grove Studios.

It is still an active, independent television production facility, as well as being a home to live performance art.

Studio 1

Of the three studios, Studio 1 has always been the biggest and most well-equipped. Thus to speak of "Riverside Studios" in the context of Doctor Who really means "Riverside 1".
