Peninsula Tower, Knightsbridge
The 33 storey, 94m tall tower was designed by Sir Basil Spence, in partnership with structural engineer Ove Arup, and completed in 1970. It was originally built as part of the redevelopment of the Hyde Park Barracks. It is no longer in military use and is now exclusive private apartments.

Knightsbridge Barracks, Knightsbridge
A supremely elegant tower, though controversial when it was built for its intrusion upon the park. After forty-plus years it has perhaps become part of the furniture. By Basil Spence & Partners, 1959-63 (built in 1967-70), for the Household Cavalry.
In October 2015, an application for listing was rejected, against the advice of Historic England, a decision no doubt welcomed by the MoD which would like to sell the site for housing. Such a move would almost certainly involve the tower's demolition. The Twentieth Century Society thinks that DCMS, the department responsible for listing, caved into MoD lobbying.
