Any Pics of the Thames TV Studios, Didn't they used to have one at Euston Road

Also LWT's hasn't change dmuch over the years although I remember in the early 1990's it had the L W T initials on the first three concrete parts (if you know what I mean by that)

Blimey, that pic of the (former) BIG Breakfast House is a bit dark! So, here it is again, brightened up a bit!

Yes - that building was demolished a while back ISTR. The former Thames studios were based at both Euston Road and Teddington. The Teddington operation was bought by Barnes Media Trust, and operated at Teddington Studios, and is now owned by Pinewood studios AIUI, and still operated under the same name, although quite large chunks of the former Thames site have been sold off. The core studios - which are very popular for sit com production - remain.

The failure of Auction World, the relocation of Des and Mel to London Studios, and the ending of Kilroy all hit Teddington studios quite hard.

No, it's fine as far as I can tell . . . why do you ask . . . ?

Because the building looks very wobbly!

Indeed - I'm sure the LWT/London Studios building isn't really that wobbly!

Hello, first time poster, don't have a shout.

Interesting thread - I actually live in Coronation Street in Salford. It's not full of the typical people on tv, it's all students!
