The iconic BT Tower London will once again play host to the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust's High Tea fundraising event, a rare chance for the public to visit this most famous landmark of the London skyline.
The BT Tower is no longer open to the public and so chances to visit the famous revolving restaurant are now only available to a small number of corporate guests.
On the 11th February 2016, BT has offered the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust the use of the world-famous BT Tower restaurant to raise funds that will enable young people in recovery from cancer to take part in life-changing, confidence building sailing trips.
There are only 30 places available for this stunning experience and they are filling fast with people keen to see the breath-taking view from top of this 189 metre tower and enjoy a delicious afternoon tea.
The Post Office Tower, as it then was, held the honour of being the tallest building in London, when it was opened in 1965. It has now it has been overtaken by several others, currently as the BT Tower it stands in 11th place, but it is still one of the most recognised buildings in the world, with a lengthy list of screen credits to its name.
Frank Fletcher, CEO of the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust said; "We are so proud to have the continued support of BT for our work. This is the 5th year we have been able to stage this fundraising event at the BT Tower – it never fails to impress and it's a key part of our fundraising year. We are so grateful to BT who cover all the costs of staging the event, so that all of the proceeds go to helping the young people - thank you BT!"
