−	~~On 18 February 2016, Tower Hamlets’ Strategic Development Committee voted in favour of approving plans for the redevelopment of Hertsmere House at West India Quay, Canary Wharf~~.	+	[[File:Spirelondon.jpg]]

−	~~[[File:Hertsmere_project_3~~.~~jpg\|link=File:Hertsmere_project_3.jpg]]~~	+	In September 2016, the Shanghai-based Greenland Group revealed new images and details of Spire London in the Docklands, which will be Western Europe's tallest residential tower.

−	Designed by award-winning architects HOK, at ~~240.5~~ m, the building ~~will be Western Europe's tallest residential tower, with~~ a petal-shaped design ~~that~~ the ~~developers claim will be ‘architecturally unique, visually striking~~, and a ~~new addition~~ to the ~~London skyline~~.’	+	Designed by award-winning architects HOK, at 235 m (771 ft), the building has a petal-shaped design inspired by the site's nautical history, and by the orchid, a flower cultivated in China for more than 3,000 years. Three petals form the spire, creating faceted glass façades and nautical style ‘prow’ and ‘bow’ contours.
		+
		+	The building is located in Hertsmere Road, adjacent to Canary Wharf and directly fronting onto the 30 acres of water in West India Quay.
		+
		+	The lower floors are characterised by bronze coloured metal detailing, while the pair of pavilion buildings on either side of the tower feature bronze coloured fins. The designers claim that this 'complements the tan brickwork of the adjacent historic buildings around the dock basin.'

	As well as providing 861 high-quality private and affordable homes (30%), a separate linked development will provide a further 60 affordable homes in Limehouse.

	The 67-storey mixed-use development will include public realm and landscape improvements alongside shops, cafes and communal amenity pavilions for new residents, connected to the tower by glass winter gardens and landscaped roof terraces.
