After the watery demise of my A7r, I now have a replacement.
aka the old NatWest Tower, City, 25 Old Broad Street, London. Richard Seifert, 1980. Reclad after the 1993 bombing and showing off the multi-media lighting at the top
Christmas in the City of London, with Christmas trees at the top of the Walkie Talkie and the Natwest Tower. A bit of a gloomy night last night, but still a decent view from 800ft up the Shard.
The "NatWest Tower", as originally named, was London's first skyscraper, at 183 metres (600 ft) high, it was the tallest building in the United Kingdom
Viewed from the Lookout.@ 8 Bishopsgate.
The lookout is one of the free viewing platforms of London. It is just in front of Horizon 22 which is higher , The Sky garden can be seen in front of the lookout and the Garden at 120, (Fenchurch st) can be seen in the lower left of the photo. You do not needed to book for Garden at 120 but the other 3 platforms require booking. They are all free!
Looking over at the Natwest Tower (Tower 42), the sky fluxes with warmth and colour. The copper green spire of St Peter’s church stands in the foreground. A lone seagull perches on the roofline, watching something in the distance.
A view along Daventry High Street on the 15th of February 2021. It had been the first time I had left our village all year, and am surprised I remembered how to drive! Sadly, most of the shops in this scene have closed, and many other buildings are now empty, such as Natwest Bank.
The NatWest Bank and associated office chambers, erected in 1910-1911 to the designs of Reeve and Reeve of Margate, is listed at Grade II.
A central Coat of Arms with portcullis and rosette enclosed with carved fruit with scroll decoration in high relief is over the door and is I understand purely decorative. The more modern facia can be seen just above the door. I have had to crop out people and traffic.
One more interesting fact Hardres St is the only street with that name in the country! and I once lived there!
Thanks to all who visit it is appreciated
Day 307. AKA The Natwest Tower in London.
Was in Chelsea today for a meeting, but got my shot of the day in the City as I was rushing back to the train station.
I went out to sketch something and noticed that the local NatWest branch had closed. Only the ATM was still functioning, next to the post box in front of the former post office. Plus ça change! Que lastima!
Millennium Footbridge with St Paul's Cathedral behind. Also in shot are the Natwest Tower, Cheesgrater, and the Walkie Talkie.
Natwest, High Street, Daventry. One of many branches to close across the country, apparently due to the increase of Internet banking. This branch closed it doors on Monday the 25th September 2017. Of interest, the building on the right was once Rodhouse Milliners store.
Tower 42 (The ex Natwest Bank tower and once the tallest building in the City of London) is reflected in 22 Bishopsgate. A few minutes before we had been at the top!
I don't really bother with 'rooftopping' or stuff like that too much nowadays but when one of the tallest and most central buildings in your city starts to be renovated you have to give it a look.
This building will be pulled down soon. It is the NatWest tower in Birmingham. I now understand the term "brutal" architecture.
First in a series of panoramic shots of the London Skyline. This image was shot on Hampstead Heath, and is made from 18 shots stitched together in PhotoShop, giving an ultra high-res shot.
Noticeable landmarks/buildings from L-R: Caledonian Park Clock Tower with the O2 Arena behind, Canary Wharf, Pan Peninsula Building, Heron Tower, The Gherkin, Tower 42 in front of the Cheesegrater, Barbican Centre, Walkie-Talkie, St Paul's Cathedral, The Shard, Guy's Hospital, St Pancras Clock Tower, St Pancras Station, The British Library, South Bank Tower, Strata SE1, Shell Building, London Eye, Crystal Palace Antenna, BT Tower, and One St Georges Wharf. All this looking over the London Borough of Camden. Zoom in and see what else you can spot.
I'm planning to do a fair few shots from different locations in London to give a view of the skyline from across the capital. If you know of any good places let me know in the comments or message me.

Tower 42 formerly the NatWest Building is the third-tallest skyscraper in the City of London _26K4347
Another shot of the now closed Daventry branch of Natwest.
What future is in store for these two buildings?
Love the golden accent that the metallic siding of Tower 42 has picked up from the sunset-in-progress occurring opposite.
Despite the 1995 name change, I will always think of this building as the NatWest Tower ...
