Not wanting to get stuck in a rut and coast into middle age, I decided to try at least fifty new things in 12 months – it was such good fun that I am going to keep going and say Yes to more new experiences !

Follow up to No 11 - Tea at the BT Tower

Last year Jared & I won the chance to have tea at the top of the BT Tower. BT ran another competition for their employees and families to visit the tower to celebrate the official opening of the Post Office Tower 50 years ago, and this time Jared won 4 tickets so that Steven and Libby could come too! 

This time we got a glass of wine - not a meal, but it was still great to view London and all its landmark buildings.

11. Afternoon Tea at the Revolving Restaurant in the BT Tower

An experience money can't buy!


Jared won exclusive tickets for us to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the BT Tower in London. 80 couples were able to take afternoon tea 158 m high in the sky. 

The lift tells you how fast it is going and it reached 1400 ft per minute on the trip up to the 34th floor!

We were lucky to get a table right next to the window, so we had panoramic views of London as it spun round, although the weather was cloudy, we could still see the London Eye, Houses of Parliament, Hyde Park, the Shard and St Pauls Cathedral.

We were greeted with a glass of wine and had rolls, scones and yummy cakes. 

We also were given a goody bag as we left with a souvenir photo, bar of Chocolate decorate with the tower, cupcakes and a tie pin - a fabulous experience! BT Tower-1.jpg
