As the original thread is now locked, I thought it couldn't hurt to start a new one. Most of the country is now covered by Google Street View, so how about some more places of interest...


From the North, some nice houses:

BBC Inverness

BBC Aberdeen (somewhere in there)

BBC Stornoway and MG Alba, where there's a TV studio

elsewhere:
BBC Norwich, The Forum

Anglia TV

Chiswick Park, home of Technicolor Network Services

IMG, Chiswick

anyone got any more?

Inverness and Stornoway produce the bulk of the output of Radio nan Gaidheal; Inverness has the studio for An La (the Gaelic TV news programme), and there's a little studio in MG Alba in Stornoway too.

Inverness, Aberdeen and Stornoway are also used for Radio Scotland - though mainly short contributions and short opt-outs. (Dumfries, Selkirk, Orkney and Shetland also do radio opts.)

It should be noted that the building that link appears to be pointing at is no longer Anglia TV. It was formerly the post office until Anglia moved in, but they have since moved out of the former post office (now an estate agents). They have however always owned Anglia House to the right of the old post office.

They also had a building in Magdalen Street, which was home to Trisha for a time and Anglia News between 1999 and December 2005, which is when the news moved back to Anglia House and the newsroom was in the rear extension, as seen here. The former Trisha studio is now used for the Eastern version of Late Kick Off.
