'''Lime Grove Studios''' | '''Lime Grove Studios''' were housed largely in a single building located on Lime Grove Street in the Shepherd's Bush district of the [[London]] borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. They were the location of much of the studio recording done during the monochromatic era of the original series of ''Doctor Who''. | ||

Lime Grove dates to 1915, when it was built by Gaumont Films. It was originally constructed with glass ceilings above the sets, because the studios used no artificial lighting. This was soon seen as impracticable, however, and the site switched to internal lighting in 1917. It underwent a couple of construction projects in 1927 and 1932-33, but these were the last innovations brought to the site's physical plant.<ref>[http://www.tvstudiohistory.co.uk/old%20bbc%20studios.htm#lime Unofficial Lime Grove history site]</ref> | Lime Grove dates to 1915, when it was built by Gaumont Films.
