Radio City Tower, officially known as St John’s Beacon, is one of Liverpool’s most distinctive landmarks, rising 138 metres above the city centre. Completed in 1969 and designed by James A. Roberts Associates, its sleek, space-age form was originally home to a luxury revolving restaurant and observation platform. In 2000, it became the base for Radio City and its sister stations, cementing its place in the city’s media and cultural life. The tower’s observation deck offers panoramic 360-degree views across Liverpool, the River Mersey, the Wirral, and, on clear days, as far as the Welsh mountains. A Grade II listed structure, it stands as a testament to the optimism and modernist vision of its era, while remaining a focal point of the skyline. Today, it continues to attract visitors for its unique perspective on the city and its enduring role as a symbol of Liverpool’s energy and ambition.
