ITV leaves the South Bank

[Inspector Sands]

With most of the BBC's London staff now all packed in like sardines at NBH

They're not, BH has been at most half of its full capacity over the last 18 months, the Broadcast Centre has been even emptier.

Like a lot of businesses they've discovered that a lot of their work can be done perfectly well from home and a lot of their staff are quite happy working from home. Things won't be returning back to the old way of working.

The idea I believe is to move to the option of 2 or 3 days in the office a week with the rest of the time working from home. That substantially reduces the amount of office space needed, hence the move of the remaining staff from W12
