Southbank Tower (formerly South Bank Tower King's Reach Tower until 2013[4]) is a high-rise building in Stamford Street, Southwark, London. It was originally a thirty-storey structure 111 metres (364 ft) high and was completed in 1972,[5] designed by the architect Richard Seifert and built by John Laing. In recent years, the tower has undergone extensive redevelopment and a height increase.

The tower is similar in design to Tower 42, which was designed by the same architect.
