Breakfast Television Centre
Breakfast Television Centre is the former headquarters of TV-am in Camden Town, London, which is now the European headquarters of Paramount. It was converted from a former car showroom in 1981 to a design by Sir Terry Farrell, and came to be known as Eggcup House because of plastic eggcups on the roof. It has since been extensively renovated. As a Paramount subsidiary, UK broadcaster Channel 5 has its headquarters in the building.
