Yup, latest proposals for the Stratford site were released today:

was convinced the word iconic would have made an appearance here

Went there to see a 6music thing last year and the building is clearly ancient and needing repairs. It’s probably cheaper to just move to this new one than bother trying to work out how to re-do it all. I do hope they’re not turned into flats though – the amount of history in that building is incredible and deserves to be preserved somehow.
