ITV Studios has confirmed the move of its Daytime production business to London’s White City while it redevelops its South Bank site.
It will occupy 27,000 sq ft with 350 staff at the WestWorks building, part of Stanhope and Mitsui Fudosan’s White City Place business district, from 2018.
It will also sub-let studio space from BBC Studioworks in the nearby Television Centre, parts of Stanhope and Mitsui Fudosan’s redevelopment of the former BBC TV headquarters on Wood Lane.
Shows including Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women will be produced from the studios.
David Camp, chief executive of Stanhope plc, said: “It is fantastic that ITV will be moving into the studios at Television Centre and joining more than 3,000 existing BBC staff at White City Place, alongside Yoox Net-a-Porter, the Royal College of Art, Huckletree and Imperial College’s new White City campus next door on Wood Lane.
WestWorks consists of 300,000 sq ft of office space and 35,000 sq ft of retail and leisure facilities. It is one of three buildings redeveloped by Stanhope in White City Place, formerly the BBC Media Village.
Stanhope and investment partners and landowners Mitsui Fudosan and AIMCo bought four acres of freehold land and the lease of six buildings from the BBC for £87m in June 2015.
