That is a shame, they should be somehow listed for historical interest.

Be interested to see what they'll do with it can't see it being used for recording or radio or TV expect it may well be split into smaller
industrial office spaces.
Offers over 10.5 million humm!!

The agent's brochure: https://prism.agencypilot.com/crm/store/documents/other/2725568_uh264fio4i42wt79.pdf
has various options for what the purchaser might try to squeeze past planning, including:
"Complete redevelopment behind retained facade
In this option it is assumed the current use is not viable
The option illustrates a complete redevelopment within the
external walls and breaches the roof form. New massing sits
inside the retained facade
Kingston, however will never be finished as they are now redeveloping parts the already redeveloped in the 70s again.

I hate it when they do that. In the 70s there was a triangular development just opposite Charing Cross station where they gutted a load of buildings (probably originally residential), just leaving the facades. I can see why they had to do it, as all the internal walls and chimney-stacks would have taken so much space up, but they might as well have knocked the whole lot down and built one of their hideous modern buildings (like the skyscraper that melts cars).
There's a particular egregious example in the high street of Swindon Old Town; I think it was originally a bank, but it's so obviously a fudge.

Probably a good thing, isn't it said of many town in the South of
England that councils did more damage in the 1960s than the Luftwaffe in WWII!

I have said that to some German visitors I was showing around Bath - I'm
not sure they believed me.
A few years ago the old Bath tramway depot was put on the market. The
facade was a dreadful ugly eyesore, but inside the building was a
treasure trove of industrial archaeolgy. We campaigned to have the
interior preserved. but the facade was kept and everything else
destroyed.
