At the launch, the presenters sat closely together on a curved purple sofa with an internally lit circular coffee table recalling a sunburst with a real-time view of the London skyline from the window behind. The studio had a mainly mauve and yellow colour scheme backlit by natural light. This produced a dark look before sunrise. A large analogue dial clock was mounted on a dark wood effect wall to the right of the presenters.

Since the launch, a number of tweaks have been made to brighten the studio's lighting and soften the look of the set. These include the addition of planters and vases of flowers and foliage to the set and the closing of illuminated screens behind the main presenters due to the dark appearance of the London skyline. In late October 2010, for most of the programme, the presenters shifted from the window to sit in front of a brightly illuminated section of studio wall. Similarly, the backdrop for the news bulletins was changed from a window view to a brightly lit yellow panel during darker hours.
