	London Telecom Tower, formerly BT Tower and Post Office Tower, Fitzrovia, West End, London - photos and background (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The British Telecom Communication Tower in London's West End was the first purpose-built tower to transmit high frequency radio waves, and it serves as a functional telecommunications centre designed to relay broadcast, Internet and telephone information around the world.
		The tower was to become the crucial artery in Britain's new microwave telecommunications network, which planners fondly imagined might survive a nuclear exchange, and so enable our PM to plaintively ring other world leaders from an enormous bunker in Wiltshire.
		The Telecom Tower's impressive height (it remained the tallest building in London until the NatWest Tower in 1981) ensured that it could beam calls over the Chiltern hills that form the north rim of the London basin.

		The Post Office Tower, declared a national monument along with other communications towers by English Heritage earlier this week, was, with Concorde, which made its maiden flight three years later, the high point of this revolutionary spirit.
		The tower, dismissed as "poorly proportioned and clumsily detailed" by Edward Jones and Christopher Woodward, authors of the otherwise impeccable A Guide to the Architecture of London, has remained a favourite London landmark.
		It is one of those functional buildings, or structures, like pylons, cooling towers, early warning radar masts, water towers and Martello towers that have their own special poetry.
