I don't really know much about this building, as there doesn't appear to be much information about it readily accessible on the Internet, but I have passed it several times in the past week as I've been travelling to work a different route to usual.
It's near the big roundabout in Wandsworth, and is part of an area called Plantation Wharf right next to the Thames.
It is fairly unusual in its design compared to most other tower blocks in the area so I thought it was worth trying to take a snap or two for posterity.
Easier said than done, due to its height and the fact that it is pretty much surrounded by buildings which preclude one from being able to capture it in its entirety, even with my 17mm tilt shift Canon lens. This shot is from up the road, slightly more telephoto in length at 88mm on the 24-105 lens ...
I shared this shot just recently of Pan Am's OCS at this exact same spot: flic.kr/p/2mJYPwz
Here is the exact same train nearly three years ago with better power but worse weather. They are seen here eastbound passing the surviving former Boston & Maine freight house standing between West Hawley Road and the Deerfield River at MP 407.4 on the the old Fitchburg Division, modern day Pan Am Southern's Freight Mainline.
PAR 1 and PAR 2 are ex Canadian National FP9s 6505 and 6516 built in 1954 and 1957 respectively by GMDD. They passed from CN to VIA Rail in 1978 before being picked up by the Conway Scenic in 1995 when they expanded into Crawford Notch. After 15 years spent hauling tourists in the White Mountains 6505 & 6516 would become PAR 1 & 2 when traded to Pan Am Railways in March 2010 for GP38 252 and GP35 216. The gorgeous duo is seen pulling the four car OCS train consisting of sleeper 103, dome car 102, lounge car 101, and observation/business car 100.
ST100 was originally Norfolk and Western business car 102 that was rebuilt and streamlined in 1957 from diner 1011 that was originally built by ACF in 1934. It was purchased by the D&H in 1976 and then passed to Guilford in 1984 and was retained after the 1988 bankruptcy and divestiture of the D&H.
ST101 also came from the D&H but was one of four originally built by Budd for the D&RGW in 1950 for use on the Denver-Salt Lake Prospector and was numbered 1290 named the Castle Gate. After that train was discontinued in 1967 the D&H acquired it and named it Champlain.
ST102 was also built by Budd in 1950 for Wabash's Chicago to St. Louis "Blue Bird" and originally wore #201. It later became N&W 1611 until stored at Roanoke in 1966. In 1971 it went to Amtrak where it stayed for 22 years before ending up in private hands for 20 more years until PAR bought it in 2013.
ST103 is a former Southern Railway sleeper dating from 1917 that was part of CSXT's business car fleet until being sold to Pan Am in 2019. The car had come to CSXT by way of the Conrail split as this car was part of Conrail's OCS and was numbered Conrail 8. Conrail had acquired the car from the SOU in 1983 and was completely remodeled after decades of revenue service.

I recently did a trade with ponyguru and her pile of stuff showed up at my door today. I initially just traded for the two Graces you see, but she found a lot of 70s doll clothes and accessories she figured I might like.
I had to leave the house but I managed a few pics. I already see some Best Buys and other later 70s stuff like chairs and accessories so I’m excited to dig through all this when I get home.
