Very interesting. Thank you. Have you any information about the radio studios? How many proper radio studios (as opposed to the working spaces) are there?

To add to the above and supplement a little. Studio F will be a clip studio for programmes like 60 seconds. In many ways this is like N10 at TVC.
Weather will have 2 identical CSO studios known as Studio G and Studio H. These are virtually completed and have complex software to do lives in to any studio, tv or radio as well as pre recorded clips. Additionally there will be an area known as studio J which will be directly viewable from the media café and will be a presenter in front of a 105" plasma. This is still some way off completion though. The "trundlecam" for the opening of the News Channel will be directly next to this location and may have some usage for weather as well.
Studio D is still the store room for the build of the other studios although will become the home of BBC London. Their current set will simply be lifted and moved in to the studio. Best information has it that their old studio will then become the new home of the One Show. As London will keep their current gallery, it is likely that the store room adjacent to the current London Studio will become the One Shows gallery.
The ground floor has a newsroom camera position. The second floor has a Correspondents camera for lives and a mini studio further along for business.
5th floor has a studio designed for BBC Global to do "Tv for radio" which radio call "visualisation" (calling it TV sticks in the radio throats) Various language programmes can use this. The first being the Russian Service.

By the way, bbclouis, thanks for the info and photos!
All images of the interior of New BH are still officially embargoed by the BBC....which is sort of daft as so much has leaked out.

Studio C and E should be identical, albeit World often only have one presenter and the Channel has 2 (currently) Studio A is different as it is the VR studio, Whereas Studio B has a main desk that elevates from coffee table height to normal desk height according to the need.
Am I the only one puzzled by the choice of desks? Each set has a completely different style.

Why not the One Shows Studio?...once it moves in that is?
If, for whatever reason, a special Breakfast came from London, it would be Studio B, yes?

Wow, this is amazing, thanks so much for sharing.
I love that London background on Studio C. Will it be used for World News programs? Such a nice background could compensate for losing a real newsroom view.
Studio B confuses me, still can't imagine it properly, feels like there are 2 or 3 similar sets all connected.

Why are you asking questions no one is likely to know the answer to?
Also what would be special in the eyes of the viewer of them doing a show in London? If there is cause to bring the show down to London for a big news story I'm sure they'll do so in the form of an OB. I also think you'd need a technical problem of mammoth proportions lasting a few days at Media City for them to bring it down to Broadcasting House. If something happened a few hours before I'm sure they'd just launch the News Channel into operation early.
Anyway, all that shouldn't distract from the fact these are really great images and studios all look great. So thanks bbclouis.
