The BT Tower
Built in the 1960s, this enormous communications tower was first commissioned by the Post Office to help carry communications traffic. Until 1980, it was the tallest building in the entire city, and it has been spotted in many films and TV dramas set in London as a mainstay of the famous skyline. Standing at 581 ft tall, it makes great fodder for trying your hand at some amateur photography.
