Better known as the Euston Tower, and at just over 400 feet, a notable landmark in an area otherwise bereft of tall buildings. It was a speculative development by the Levy brothers ('notorious' according to Pevsner - one would like to know the details), and was built in 1962-72 by Sidney Kaye, Eric Firmin & Partners. Curtain-walled towers in a quasi-cross shape, resembling a square central core with four perpendicular projections at each corner. See also: Image
