EDITORS COMMENTS
The iconic Post Office TV Radio Tower stands tall and proud above Tottenham Court Road in London. This print captures the tower in its final stages of construction, just before it was officially topped out. With a height of 619 feet, this magnificent structure is set to become Britain's tallest building. Aside from its impressive stature, the tower holds great promise as a tourist attraction. Not only will it house the Museum telephone exchange, but it will also feature a unique revolving restaurant at its pinnacle. Visitors can look forward to enjoying breathtaking views of London while indulging in fine dining. However, they must exercise patience as the restaurant is not scheduled to serve its first meal until January 1966. This photograph serves as a timeless reminder of an important milestone in London's architectural history. Known by various names such as GPO Tower, General Post Office Tower, BT Tower or even British Telecom Tower, this communications tower symbolizes progress and innovation. As we gaze upon this image captured on July 16th, 1964, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of the swinging sixties. The tower's looming presence against the city skyline reflects both ambition and achievement – a testament to human ingenuity and determination.
