Balfron Tower, Poplar
Built in the 1960s, Balfron Tower is a 27 storey building overlooking the northern entrance to the Blackwall Tunnel. Designed by Ernő Goldfinger, the architect behind the similar Trellick Tower in West London, it has been a Grade II listed building since 1998.

Balfron Tower, St Leonard's Road (1)
A landmark building, with its huge concrete bulk and striking juxtaposition of massive slab and slender semi-detached service tower, at the top of which is a conspicuously oversailing boiler house, a formula the architect returned to for the Trellick Tower in Kensington (Image]). That architect was Ernö Goldfinger, the date was 1965-67, and the client was the Greater London Council. It was a high-spec job with good quality materials and variety in the size and disposition of the flats. Looking back from 2011, it's hard to conceive of a time in which large-scale public housing projects were undertaken at all, let alone with generous budgets. Grade II* listed.
Goldfinger designed two other distinctive buildings on the estate (Image] and Image]), but not the indifferent smaller terraces like that seen in the foreground.

Seen from this angle it's almost slender enough to hide behind one of the lamp posts.

Balfron Tower, Blackwall Tunnel Northern Approach, from the air
Erno Goldfinger's Balfron Tower is similar to his slightly later Trellick Tower in West London but gets nothing like the media profile, probably because of its location in a far less trendy area of the capital.
Taken on the approach to London City Airport, photographer's position of course conjectural.
