Looking south from a footbridge. The dominant tower is the concrete Eagle Star House, of 1963-67, by the Owen Luder Partnership. There are shops at the bottom, and "wilfully complicated" stairs to a car park. Pevsner thinks the view is best from the north, "making an emphatic statement at the entrance to the High Street", but goes on, "closer up there are too many tricky details".
