Hopkins' proposal for ITV's South Bank headquarters

Broadcaster to sell off London Television Centre site amid savings drive

ITV has announced that it will not proceed with Hopkins Architects-designed proposals to redevelop its London Television Centre and is instead putting the South Bank site up for sale.

The broadcaster in February won planning permission to replace its 45-year-old home with a much larger two-part scheme. Hopkins’ proposals featured a 31-storey tower with 213 new homes and a new headquarters building for ITV with 44,434sq m of new office space, 3,632sq m of studio space, and 216sq m of new retail space. The non-residential element of the scheme would have been 14-storeys at its highest.
