BBC London are on their second BH studio, though they have retained the same gallery location for both.
Am I getting confused? I thought originally BBC London gallery was just outside some radio studios.
Yes - but those 'some radio studios' included those used by BBC London and were in or close to the BBC London newsroom... In news it makes more sense to have your gallery near your newsroom than your studio.
Has it remained there? I'd presumed they'd have found a more conventional home - especially as it was used by news channel and network bulletins the other weekend.
Yes - because it makes a lot of sense having your gallery close to your production office or newsroom.
There are also major benefits to having a studio and gallery in a different part of the building (technically both of them are in a different building to the other non-World Service TV studios)
