Looking towards the north-west across Regent's Park.
Prominent in the foreground is Park Crescent with Holy Trinity Church, Marylebone to the right.

At 581ft, the Post Office Tower was the tallest building to be completed in London during the 1960s. This view was taken from the revolving restaurant near its top. The tower is now known as the BT Tower and the restaurant is no longer operational.
