The organisation that leaps out at me in this regard - and one you're
no doubt aware of if you're in London - is the BBC.

Over the past few years the BBC have taken lots of steps to provide a
joined up experience between TV, Radio, PC/standard web, and mobile -
on a whole host of different levels.

The iPlayer (on-demand TV) on both PC and on mobile is a great
example of this - showing content from the TV and radio, promoted on
both platforms, distinct (but still BBC-y) website and associated TV
app, mobile-targetted app that takes into account screen resolution &
connection speed etc.. 

Indeed, if you had told me 5 years ago that I would actually watch a
TV programme on my phone, I would have laughed you out of town. But
now I do - if it happens to suit (even in my own house).

They do still have some work to do (their website detects you're on
a phone, but obviously not very reliably: I get a cut-down version of
the site which I neither want nor need), and they clearly have
resources that most people don't, but I think they're a great
example....
