This is the block seen in Image from the other side, in Chepstow Street. That's not a spire, but the distorted reflection of Canada House.

Built around a canal basin adjacent to the Bridgewater concert hall.

A rather exclusive development occupied by solicitors and the like and not to be confused with another Oxford Court in the town, which is student accommodation. Not many students could afford to live here.
