Vauxhall at night – skyscrapers, buses, construction work and a Thames nocturne, Jan 2021

Vauxhall is rapidly turning into a mini-Manhattan for the wealthy, with huge new tower blocks and luxury apartments punching the skyline.

Here’s some photos taken from both sides of the Thames on a chilly winter evening:

It’s stuffed full of flats for the rich, but I can’t help appreciating the curvy lines of this swishy block on the north side of Vauxhall bridge.

Looking across the Thames from the north side.

St George Tower and its shiny neighbours – see: the unspeakable ugliness of Vauxhall’s St George Wharf riverside development and tower.

Riverside works.

Skyscrapers around Vauxhall.

Vauxhall’s iconic ‘ski-jump’ bus station is  set for demolition to make way for more luxury tower blocks.
