Does anyone recall any tourist location being the renown place to overlook London in the 1980s? Obviously there are some great places to ride up nowadays but I don't recall being able to climb anything high enough (legally) back then.

Thanks!

What about the BT Tower?

Ah yes, good point. But it was closed in 1980 after a bombing.

Hmmmm. Primrose Hill Park is considered to have some of the best views over the city. Any good :-?

Not bad Mogwai, not bad. I was hoping for a piece of architecture but really that hill does have great view.

Thanks!

There are some decent views from Alexandra Palace as well.

2020, true but I thought that didn't open till the late 80s. It counts though. Thanks.

Mogwai, I didn't know tourists could go up in the NatWest. I suppose there is restaurant...
