Found this litte run down on Vauxhall developments but I think its quite old- It does havea cool view of the StGeorges tower that I haven't seen before with a view from the West.

presumably the £3.5 million apartments have a river view, and don't face a bus station or congested road.

plenty of apartments at st georges wharf already do. they are on the south side of it.

Excellent work James.

Don't suppose you fancy doing a 2012 rendering of this, do you:

***gothicform*** · December 19th, 2005, 09:34 PM

no i dont will. they take too long to do with any justice, im not the cut and paste type im afraid.

Newcastle Guy · December 27th, 2005, 11:05 PM

JDRS · January 4th, 2006, 06:24 PM

I had a feeling they wouldn't be made of wood

I love em! More than most of the other proposals in London at the moment.

***wjfox*** · January 4th, 2006, 07:54 PM

They look like bigger versions of the Ontario Tower.

Yes, that render looks about right considering the size.
The taller of the two is 52 floors. Thats more than 1 Canada square!

frickin huge! Futuristic looking, and more importantly diminuishes the impact of the St George's Wharf Tower. More to the point though, its still a bit of a grotty area full of railways lines, arches, flyovers, bridges and the MI5 building. Supposed it worked for St George's Wharf though. If I lived by the river it would have to be somewhere near Bankside, Butlers Wharf or Borough Market. Oh yes, that would be after some handy lottery funding though.

I agree!

They will form a nice silhouette on the skyline.

There are apparently going to be lots of towers going up around this area of a similar size, so im sure the place will start getting its act together. We could see st georges wharf rising within months, the site is cleared and it is approved. I can see it starting soon, so dont worry, this area will become a really nice place soon

oh, and whats wrong with the MI5 building?

London · January 4th, 2006, 08:42 PM

Wow... skygardens

very important.

It kinda reminds me of the Skyhouse a bit. Do you see were im comin from?

Skyhouse

The Twins

JDRS · January 4th, 2006, 08:43 PM

I really like the MI5 building!

These twin towers fit in really well with the emerging vauxhall area I believe and is one place where there could be quite a few new residential skyscrapers. I like the size of these two too and they are very reminiscent of ontario tower

***wjfox*** · January 4th, 2006, 09:02 PM

Whatever happened to Skyhouse??
