Green light for London ‘Jenga tower’
Plans to build a 53-storey landmark tower near to Blackfriars Bridge in London have gained planning. The building dubbed the ‘Jenga Tower’ because of its blocked facade would be the tallest of a proposed cluster of buildings.
Southwark Council granted planning consent to the 183.5m tall tower, designed by architect Wilkinson Eyre, last night. The scheme will include both private and affordable housing, a hotel, office space, and a music venue in a group of six buildings.
The scheme will now need to be rubber stamped by London’s mayor.
