The former Tennyson Street School was latterly the base of the Inner London Education Authority's Educational TV Service. The television centre had two functional television studios, a training studio, a master control and sound and vision mixing suites, together with a mobile section which carried out recordings in schools for use in teacher training. After the abolition of the Greater London Council, the existence of the ILEA ceased in 1988, when responsibility for education was transferred to the London boroughs. The buildings were subsequently converted into a gated housing development.
