Construction has started on the curious shaped Baltimore Tower, billed as “an iconic new landmark for luxury living” and set to offer 330 flats for the well heeled.
The 45-storey circular twisting residential tower is being built in London’s Docklands, and will feature the inevitable bar, restaurant and brasserie on its top two floors.
Those lucky enough to have the necessary wealth to live here can enjoy valet parking and exclusive access to the largest residential gym and leisure facility in London, complete with 25m pool, boxing area, sauna, spa and ice fountain.
The perks don’t stop there either, with residents having an “exclusive private lounge and large screen cinema room” to themselves.
Designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, completion is due in the summer of 2016.

Yeah just what the UK needs ..More palatial living spaces for folk with too much money while the rest of us get screwed in to the ground .
How come the 80s shots are in Black and White? Were black and white cameras cheaper?
well cameras were the same .No such thing as a colour camera ..It was film that was different so probably Mono film WAS cheaper but not only that a lot of “archtectural” shots looked better in Monochrome.
when the docklands was first built us peasants were told don’t worry there will be housing for the working class what a load of crap then the rich folk built walls down to the river bank to stop folk using the foot path or was it to get to there nice boats parked up this is just another kick up the arse for the working class of the late great sw London
I never knew that, Stuart. I always assumed there were colour cameras and black and white cameras! It actually makes sense to me, now I know it, because I know roughly how a camera works.
