BT has agreed to sell the BT Tower in London to MCR Hotels for £275 million.
The London tower dates from 1964 and is 177 meters (581 feet) high, and was the tallest building in London until 1980.
It was open to the public and the top floor was used as a revolving restaurant until 1971, and BT has used the floor as a venue for corporate and charity events since 1984.
Oh, so they admit it exists now, do they?
Pretty cheap to be honest, I’ll take two
What tower? Never heard of it. Never seen it.
Heatherwick studios to work on the project. The same Heatherwick which won the bid for the Garden Bridge
Will the new owners be required to open the formerly public area, like so many newly built tall buildings?
Has the government stopped using the microwave station?
Guys, you mean the Post Office Tower?
/shows age
I was half suspecting it would be sold to some sercretive individual to turn into some monstrous private residence.
