The BT Tower tour

Snipe was invited to visit the top of the BT Tower Wednesday to witness the launch of Open House London 2010, the annual event in which hundreds of buildings, tunnels, and gardens normally closed to the public are opened for gawking. While the BT Tower was built with a rotating restaurant, after a bombing by the Provisional IRA in 1971 the public areas were closed except for special event hire.
