Beetham tower west Liverpools highest building, Dec 2011

[the kwan]

Had two visits here with Maybenot1330 and one visit with Image hound tagging along, On our first visit it was just too damn windy to get a sharp picture so a second visit was needed.
after we left the roof We discovered that we had got locked in the service stairwell but thanks to maybenots costco card and his car key he managed to get us back into the lobby on both occasions. After our first visit we sat in the bar on the 34th floor and necked a few bottles of peroni at the bar, we blended in because we dressed smart casual and had laptop bags instead of our rucksacks.

On with some pictures and Thankyou to Gone for his valuable info

Description
With a spire height of 140 metres (459 ft) and 40 floors, West Tower is Liverpool’s tallest building, the 18th tallest in the United Kingdom (third tallest outside of London) and the 83rd tallest in the European Union. The building commands views across the city, over the Mersey to the Wirral and as far as Blackpool on a clear day. The first five floors are the new headquarters for the Beetham Organization and the remaining floors, apart from the 34th, have been divided into luxury apartments and penthouses.
