It comes up on occasion that the TV-am building is listed (or something is listed about it) but as that was a relatively new building that only dates from the 1980s so it's not quite old enough I would have thought to qualify for a listing at least, and of course it wasn't the first TV studio in London so it isn't unique enough in that regard.
Listed buildings to be either ridiculously old, cultural and/or noteworthy, and its why you see a lot of castles, churches, libraries (more so Carnegie libraries), older pubs on the list and quite a few things on the English Heritage/National Trust sites.
I dare say if Viacom wanted to they could just knock the whole complex down with a bulldozer and nobody would mind.
