"The current offices at Television Centre are now fully let and we will soon be announcing further major lettings at our nearby White City Place business and office district.
"The landscape of White City has been transformed and it is now truly on the map as a great place to live, work and visit.
" The site is buzzing with residents living in our apartments, activity from audiences attending shows like Good Morning Britain and Loose Women and ITV Daytime who also regularly film in the forecourt, where we currently have a big outdoor screen for Wimbledon tennis, Royal Opera House and cinema screenings.
