Alesha Dixon ‘let slip’ this morning that BGT will return to itv on the 14th of April, which means SNT will (probably) finish the week before on the 7th of April. However this would be the show at Universal Studios in Florida. So if SNT is to be the final show to come from TLS, it will be on March 31, which would mean itv daytime would move to TVC at the beginning of April.
I don't know how tightly human resources are shared between ITV Daytime programmes at the moment, but it would seem more sensible for the programmes to gradually move to TVC, rather than all on the same day.

They'll have to do some sort of piloting at the new studios before going live so they'll need some overlap where both are crewed.
As you say there's no reason why all the programmes should move together and also there's no connection between when the last show from the other studios happens
Is Takeaway the final programme? I read somewhere else earlier that the last programme in studio 1 at TLS will be an episode of Celebrity Chase.
You might be correct, I just remember seeing someone suggest that the last show from TLS was Takeaway. It may have just been a misinterpretation on my part.

I’m sure when they meant the last show from The London Studios, they predominantly meant the last booking TLS had as the commercial business, ignoring the blocked out studios ITV daytime use.
So assuming it is the last show might be a bit too literal.

Celebrity Chase appears to be recording in TLS until 30th April.
It seem TLS will do as TV Centre did back in 2012/2013 with a gradual closing of their studios one at a time. By June 2018 I feel all of the complex would be closed and handed over to the developers. There is a lot of equipment in those studios, I wonder how much of it ITV will keep?
Probably very little, most of it'll end up at auction, like Bush House, TVC, Fountain and all the other facilities that have closed in the last few years.
