"There is direct access from there to six new TV studios, suspended on
enormous steel springs, designed to counteract vibrations caused by the
Jubilee Line."

I know the Jubilee Line passes beneath Park Square, but surely only the
Bakerloo and Victoria Lines go near enough Broadcasting House to
vibrate it?

Baker St to Bond St goes nowhere near Portland Square.

True, since Portland Square is in Wapping.

Basil actually mentioned Park Square, which is at the northern end of
Portland Place. If you don't believe that the Jubilee goes anywhere
near Park Square, ask the Journey Planner for a journey from St Johns
Wood to Marylebone via Waterloo, use a View button to look at one of the
offered journeys and click on one of the map icons (not the PDF ones).
You'll see that the Jubilee runs close to the Bakerloo for most of the
way from Marylebone to Regent's Park.
