The former home of the BBC in White City, west London, is being converted into 950 apartments, which will be launched on the open market this April.

The development includes cafes, restau- rants, offices, a hotel and a new Soho House private members’ club with a rooftop swimming pool. Visit http://televisioncentre.com
