"For years it has stood unvisited and was considered an unfashionable 1960s monolith with an uncertain future. But with the flick of a switch, launching fireworks and a new 500ft-high Olympics countdown screen, central London’s BT Tower has been given a new burst of life. And now it seems the rotating restaurant – its crowning glory until it was closed 30 years ago – will reopen to the public."

My father treated me to a meal there in 1975 to celebrate my BA in Architecture. Apart from the view I love that weirdness of revolving restaurants where the moving part of the floor meets the fixed part. It feels like standing across an accelerated version of the San Andreas fault

Very jealous, Tim. It's always been my favourite building in London. I've just had the loft renovated in my house in West London, and one of the wonderful things is that I can see it from the new windows in my roof!

I live right there! When them fireworks kicked off on Saturday night, they scared the bejesus out of me. So pretty! But lasted for less than a minute :( The spotlights and sparkles treatment on Friday was lovely, too. I could happily fall asleep watching it every night, provided none of the lasers shoot into my eyes.

Ian, when you said you had your loft renovated, i thought you were going to say it now rotates. :)

Simon, I tried, but couldn't get it past the local planners :(

I think we ate there in 1977 or so -- if I recall, it was amazingly expensive.
