The low buildings on the right in a U-shape layout are Portal West, a business centre. A planning consultation - held in the hotel from which the photo was taken - proposes two 40-storey apartment blocks and two blocks described as "low", which on enquiry means 10-storey. The buildings behind it are the Woodward Hall student residence for Imperial College, the furthest and tallest 19-storeys. The building on the left was built as a car showroom, then became a call centre for Carphone Warehouse.
