Metro Central Heights – Celebrity modernist architect and inspiration for Ian Fleming’s Bond nemesis Erno Goldfinger designed this mega structure opposite Perronet House. For the first three decades of its life it was offices before being condemned as having sick building syndrome. The developers St George’s (most famous for The Tower at Vauxhall) bought it in the 1990s, demolished Goldfinger’s iconic Trocadero cinema weeks before it was due to be listed and converted it all into small single aspect flats with the original glazing. There is a small communal gym and paddling pool in the basement for residents. The flats are popular as buy to lets.

Strata – Also known as The Razor and The Lipstick this 41 storey stripey tower is all that was built of the large eco-friendly redevelopment planned for the Elephant in the early 2000s. But all is not what it seems. The three turbines were intended to generate 8% of the building’s electricity but they are now just static and decorative because a design flaw makes them too noisy to use. The building won The Concrete Award in 2010 for its innovative construction technique. The same year Strata won the Telegraph’s Carbuncle of the Year.
