I guess it'll probably be the usual BBC lazy set design of boarding up a real view and sticking a plasma in front of it showing you what you would have seen had they not blocked the window in the first place.
I certainly wouldn't assume that because the studio is in a space which currently has windows, that the set will feature windows. The cost of treating windows to get them to work in daylight with the sun angles between 6am and 6pm, the cost (and in some cases impossibility of lighting all the buildings in the background during hours of darkness to avoid windows turning into mirrors) plus the limitations Daybreak have experienced of a skyline view during darkness (and the fact that Daybreak already have a view) would suggest to me that Breakfast may continue with a non-window look. (Or they could do an Andrew Marr - or have a treated "window look"...)

So why put them where there are windows? Won't the issues with lighting still be there whether the cameras are facing the windows or not, if you get me?

Wouldn't black curtains around the edge of the studio solve the problem? In fact do they put these in anyway to help ensure light doesn't interfere as guests etc come and go?
With all the things moving to Broadcasting House and Salford Quays, what will actually be left? I can think of Strictly and other such talent shows - where would they come from when its sold? Do we think that the place will be sold as a television studio building still, just not owned by the BBC so they could rent the studios?
I think the National Lottery programmes are still produced there. What else?

National Lottery comes from Arqiva, and has done for a while
EDIT: Just thought, you could refer to
In it to win it

Quite a few bits and pieces are still made in TV Centre, quite often studio-based comedy like Mock the Week, TV Burp, 10 O'Clock Live and 8 Out of 10 Cats, as well as a few gameshows.
If production ceased at TV Centre (and I hope it doesn't, it's a magical old place), then I guess it'll spread out to places like the London Television Centre (LWT's old studios on the South Bank, where QI and HIGNFY are made), Fountain, Riverside, Teddington, Pinewood etc. I think Sky's A League of Their Own is made at BBC Elstree.

Is there a Studio One size-equivalent in London for Strictly etc?

If there is, bloody Cowell & co have probably nabbed it!
