I don't think there is any need to move BBC Breakfast back to London. They didn't suffer any deterioration in quality or viewing figures following the move in 2012.
The titles/music aren't likely to change until there is a revamp of the BBC News brand in general: unless they intend to depart from that style, which I believe would be a backward step.
In terms of set design, there isn't a great deal they can do differently in the space provided, other than alter the lighting and images on the screens. There isn't space to alter the physical set design into an 'NBH style'.
I don't think Bill's departure is going to be the catalyst for anything other than a change in the regular line up of presenters.

Although given BBC Breakfast's history of rogue rebrands that wouldn't necessarily be connected to any wider BBC News relaunch. The 2000 launch was a year late, the 2006 relaunch only coincided with the studio reshuffle and there was only a refresh of the wider BBC News look, the 2009 relaunch was a year late and the 2012 refresh a year early.

I would say the 2013 strings from Abbey Road aren't part of Breakfast... yet... There's lots ways of evolving the sound and look without going off brand.
Anybody else not surprised that the position hasn't gone to Charlie Stayt though? He's OK as the 'second' male presenter doing Thursday-Saturday, however part of me just couldn't really see him wanting the 'top' job, so to speak.
