"MCR Hotels aims to create a hotel-led, mixed-use scheme that celebrates the Tower's heritage, complements Fitzrovia's historic character, and creates publicly accessible space."
"Proposals feature a rooftop swimming pool, a new public square, retail spaces, and the potential return of the revolving restaurant, which was closed in 1971."
"Public access to the top of the tower would be restored for the first time in half a century, with new walking routes put in place across the site."
"The BT Tower served as the central hub for the UK's microwave communications network, carrying high-frequency radio waves for phone calls and TV broadcasts."
MCR Hotels plans to convert London's BT Tower into a luxury hotel featuring a rooftop swimming pool and public spaces. The redevelopment aims to celebrate the tower's heritage while complementing Fitzrovia's character. Proposals include a new public square, retail spaces, and restoring public access to the tower's top for the first time in 50 years. The project will create employment opportunities and meaningful placemaking. However, redevelopment cannot start until 2030, after the decommissioning of telecoms equipment is completed.
