The body has urged the government to reward the cultural and architectural importance of the site at BBC Television Centre, reports the Daily Star.
Peter Beacham, Heritage protection director, commented: "This building is not just architecturally important.
"As one of the first purpose-built television studios in the world, it represents the moment when Britain led Europe into the television age.
"We all feel we know areas such as the Blue Peter garden and the studios where people have watched significant moments in broadcasting over the last 50 years - from early Doctor Who to Top Of The Pops, Terry Wogan and Children In Need."
Beacham has asked for the garden to be granted Grade II listing.
