Architecture minister Barbara Follett has grade II listed BBC Television Centre in White City, west London.
Following a request from English Heritage, the Department of Culture, Media & Sport ruled that the central ring and Studio One of the building, designed by Graham Dawbarn of Norman & Dawbarn, were both worthy of listing. The structures were built between 1955 and 1960.
While other studios in the building, as well as the scenery block and canteen, did not meet the level of architectural or historic interest needed for listing, they will nevertheless gain grade II status because of their “structural attachment” to the more notable parts of Television Centre.
Follett said: "BBC Television Centre has a special place in our shared history and heritage.

Somewhat puts the BBC Disposing of the site in question
