BBC Newsroom South East was the

London Plus
, the South East's previous news programme.

In 1992,

South Today
with opt-out privileges.

In September 2001,

BBC London News in October 2001, thereby bringing BBC Newsroom South East to an end.[1][2]

The main presenter of the programme in its early years was

BBC London Live
. To provide continuity to staff prior to the launch of BBC London News, the Elstree set was temporarily placed in the Marylebone Road studios for these few weeks, although the smaller space meant that there was only space for one presenter.

Following the 1999

BBC Ten O'Clock News. Main presenters included Mike Embley, Gwenan Edwards, Gargy Patel, Gillian Joseph, Tim Donovan, Heather Lima and sports presenter Rob Curling
.

Unlike other BBC regions, BBC Newsroom South East never had a dedicated weather forecaster; instead the weather came from whichever national forecaster was presenting that particular day.
