Roath Lock, or Porth y Rhath in Welsh, is a BBC drama village situated in Cardiff near Cardiff Bay. It was adjacent to the Doctor Who Experience until the Experience closed in 2017. Since 2012, BBC Wales series Doctor Who has filmed here. BBC Wales' Class was also filmed at Roath Lock in 2016.
The "lock" in the name refers to the waterway linking Roath Basin to Roath Dock and Cardiff Bay, and the studios are built next to the former lock-keeper's cottage.[1]
Construction began in 2010, and completed on 20 February 2011. The production centre is 170,000 square feet in area. It was acquired through a partnership between the Welsh government, Cardiff Council and the site developers igloo Regeneration. VINCI Construction UK was involved in its construction.[2][3]
Roath Lock officially opened on 12 March 2012.[1][4]
