Another fun fact - it had a rotating restaurant on the 34th floor called The Top of the Tower, which was operated by Butlins, and made one revolution every 23 minutes, but was closed in 1971 following a bombing[0]. Apparently there was talk of reopening the restaurant for the London Olympics in 2012 (not clear whether it would have rotated or not) but this didn't happen. Will be interesting to see if the hotel gets the rotating restaurant working again after all this time.
I once went to that restaurant in 2001 as a 12 year old kid who was invited to speak at a children's charity event held there.
It was a cool day out with a teacher from my school and couple of kids from a few years above. Afterwards, they took us on the London Eye as well, which was also pretty great.
Not the sort of thing that usually happens to kids in a state school in Yorkshire! I think I still have a "certificate" somewhere to say that I went to the top of the BT tower!
Great list, but it seems it could be missing some entries.
The Hyatt Regency in downtown SF had a rotating restaurant (at one point called The Equinox?), but it no longer rotates and is no longer open to the public. It bled too much cash as people would go in and nurse a drink to get the full 360 view.
