BT Tower is listed Grade II. According to Wiki, there are Grade I, Grade II* and Grade II.

Tokyo Tower, built in 1958, is older than BT Tower, built in 1964. Tokyo Tower,332.9 meters, is also taller BT,189 m.
My parents took me to Tokyo Tower when I was really small, but I didn't impressed by the view, but I haven't been Acrophobia.
The tallest building which I had experienced was Tokyo Skytree, 634 meters I think the second tallest experience was Sears Tower, now Willis Tower which is 527 m. I never been to the top of The Shard,309.6 metres, yet.

I'm expecting the nostalgic revolving top restaurant in the new hotel.
