Question

Was P.1154 cancelled at about the same time as TSR-2?

Short answer

Yes, but related supersonic Harrier studies continued under other project names.

Notes

P.1154 was cancelled at about the same time as TSR-2. Related supersonic Harrier work nevertheless continued in the background and was reconsidered at several points. Changing project names make the lineage difficult to describe concisely. P.1154 serves as a root name for those related efforts, without implying that the original project continued unchanged.
