It can't have been easy getting all of these glorified portacabins onto the top of all these buildings. Well worth it though.

In the case of Westfield I think the studios etc were put up when it was built, it's not been open a year yet

They weren't there when it opened, but then again I don't think the centre was quite finished when it opened...

Here's how it was looking the other day:

Judging by a twitter conversation I had earlier, there is no SkyNews studio near the park. They have a live point (which Jacqui used this morning) & the Sky Sports News Studio.

Bit of a shame IMO.

What on earth is wrong with the BBC1 titles for the BBC News Olympic specials, they have a strange yellow hue. If its supposed to be like that, it looks awful!

Also it doesn't really match the music, looks like it's out of sync.

Especially when there is a perfectly good title sequence for the torch relay that all of the regions outside of London have been using.

I think it's supposed to be Olympic gold - not yellow.

It appears the regions are getting in on the act... This picture courtesy of jamesypoo...

Link to Ros Atkins and Karin Giannone at the park broke down a few moments ago. We've returned to Peter Dobbie in N8 meanwhile. He must be the back up man?

Where on Lund Point did Wendy Hurrell do her interview during the lunchtime BBC London bulletin? The rest of the bulletin was from BH.

I heard that shout too....But it is just being branded as ' Breakfast' instead of Olympic Breakfast like it used to be in 2008. That was a BBC Sports production but it seems more like a Breakfast production for now.

Remember that for the last three sets of Summer Olympics, there was action taking place while the Breakfast programme was on air, not the case this time.
