Cool. I was there starting 2003, in White City. With the generally dysfunctional air conditioning. Not so cool :-(

Which motivated me to work outside on the benches of the rather lovely walkway leading up to the building. Which in turn motivated me to write a pretty self-contained system. No Oracle databases for you! Was very beneficial for all :-)

The Ceefax team was in the next room, between us and the White City Bar.

Of course no Oracle databases. That would only have worked for the ITV teletext service.
