This is your occasional reminder that until 1993 the existence of Post Office Tower in London was an official state secret
Despite it being 177 metres tall, in central London, and having both a revolving restaurant and a gift shop
@witchfynder_finder yep, the fact it existed was classified and people did indeed get done under section 2 of the official secrets act for gathering information about it
And yes, it does indeed have both a revolving restaurant which was open to the public on the 34th floor and a gift shop
The only reason it's not classified any more was because an MP used parliamentary privilege to announce that it does exist because the fact it was classified was fucking ridiculous
@troubleMoney I honestly have more questions now but I'm so gobsmacked by the whole thing I don't even know which ones to ask =P
@witchfynder_finder I'm sure it's part of why SIS had no problem with their headquarters being shown in the Bond films
they realised that it was a waste of time trying to keep a location like that classified when every cab driver in London knew where it was
