£2bn London Vauxhall Square tower trio approved

The tallest would rise to 69-storeys overshadowing the existing St Georges Wharf tower and will rank as the second tallest residential building in London.

Lambeth councillors have backed the vast Vauxhall Square scheme, paving the way for a total of seven buildings containing 1,097 homes, 1,164 co-living apartments and 699 student bedrooms.

The Pilbrow & Partners-designed mixed-tenure development will transform a 3.8-acre site close to Vauxhall station.

Buildings across seven plots will range from three to 69 storeys, with the tallest tower reaching around 230m and containing 500 homes for private sale.

If built, it would become the UK’s second-tallest residential building behind the 239m Landmark Pinnacle at Canary Wharf.
