Tolworth Tower, Broadway (1)
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: Unknown
A notable landmark for some distance around (e.g. Image]) due to it having twenty-two storeys and most of its neighbours two or three. It was designed by Richard Seifert and Partners and built in 1962-64, perhaps an outlier of the large-scale development then ongoing in Croydon (to which Seifert also contributed). The tower rests on stilts which are splayed at the ends, a feature which Pevsner did not find "aesthetically pleasing". See here for a view of the rear: Image As can be seen office space is available.
