Read moreIt's impossible to miss this giant giant in the skyline of Liverpool. Inaugurated in 1969 by Queen Elizabeth, it was the highest building in the city, peaking at 138 metres. There was a restaurant on a rotating platform, but following a fire, the kitchens were moved to the ground floor. Then there was another problem: The dishes were not hot enough when they arrived on plates… All this sounds like a joke, and it is true! In the absence of any food, there are still uninterrupted panoramic views to Wales and Blackpool, in a clear time. Today, the tower hosts the studios of Radio City station, landed in 2000 after major renovations. And if it was détrônée by the West tower in 2008, it remains a landmark for all the city's tourists and night.
