Spire London

Spire London, previously known as Hertsmere House, is a construction project located in West India Quay, near Canary Wharf.

Developed by Greenland Group and designed by HOK, construction on the tallest building of 67 stories commenced in 2016, and (at that time) was targeted for completion in 2021.

[8] Spire London is the third skyscraper proposed for the site previously occupied by Hertsmere House, an office building which was demolished to make way for the new development.

[4] The design of the building includes prow and bow shapes, taking inspiration from the maritime history of the docks where it is due to be built.

As a result, Greenland proposed removing all 96 affordable flats from the Spire, which would restore the project's financial viability by improving its return to over £50 million.
