UK - London - St George Wharf Tower rises over south London

Beyond Edwardian period homes bordering Ruskin Park in south London, the residential skyscraper called St George Wharf Tower rises from the Nine Elms development at Battersea above the foreground houses and 100 year old ash trees in the borough of Lambeth. The tower is 181 metres (594 ft) tall with 49 storeys, the tallest residential building in the United Kingdom. We see a landscape of change, from the era of Edwardian Britain to the twenty-tens, when property is being built for the benefit of the wealthy Londoners and especially, foreign buyers from China and the middle-east who are investing in new flats but who rarely occupy them at the expense of those needing homes.
