EDITORS COMMENTS
Still reigning supreme and unchallenged in height, the 620 ft General Post Office Tower stands proudly just off Tottenham Court Road. After being open to the general public for several weeks now, this architectural marvel continues to captivate all who lay eyes upon it. While many view the Tower as a vantage point offering breathtaking views of the capital, its purpose goes far beyond that. The Tower houses state-of-the-art microwave equipment, easily visible from any angle, which facilitates the transmission of telephone and television signals in and out of London from various directions. However, undoubtedly stealing the spotlight is the revolving restaurant nestled within its heights. Offering customers an unrivaled panoramic view of London and even glimpses of neighboring Home Counties, this dining experience promises to be truly unforgettable. A complete revolution around its floor takes just under half an hour, allowing diners ample time to savor their meals while taking in every inch of this magnificent cityscape. As captured in this print by Topography circa 1970s, one can't help but marvel at the sheer grandeur of GPO Tower – standing tall as not only Britain's tallest building but also a symbol of progress and innovation. With buildings reaching for the clouds and decades passing by like fleeting moments, GPO Tower remains an iconic landmark etched into London's skyline.
