St George Wharf Tower, also known as the Vauxhall Tower, is a residential skyscraper in Vauxhall, London, and part of the St George Wharf development. At 181 metres (594 ft) tall with 50 storeys, it is the 20th-tallest building in London and was the tallest residential building[a] in the United Kingdom on its completion.[4][5]
Whilst under construction, in 2013 a helicopter collided with a crane on the building and crashed to the ground, causing two deaths.[6]
