I stand corrected - partially. It seems to have been referred to in
pariament as the Post Office Tower as early as 1963:
It was completed in 1964 as the GPO Tower. The GPO became the Post
Office in 1969, at which time the tower was also renamed.

I don't remember it ever being called the GPO Tower. It was always the
Post Office Tower.

The GPO Tower (AKA Telecom Tower AKA BT Tower) only started to appear in public
maps in 1984; despite having been completed in the 1960s and dominating the
London skyline from many angles, taking up two whole 'blocks' on the ground in
London W1 and containing a commercial restaurant.

Yes, for NLS and current OS displayed by MAGIC.
Is that yes, it's mapped, or yes, it's redacted?

I question the meaning of the word 'secret' when used in a newspaper. My
observations are that secret means the reporter didn't know about it.
