Some corporate sales guff from the website...

Bringing luxury London living to the Capital’s most profiled area in recent years, Capital Towers presents a new and exhilarating residential development overlooking the UK’s largest regeneration programme, the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Capital Towers comprises the 14-level City West Tower and 34-level Sky View Tower, together making up a landmark collection of 191 all private luxury residences each featuring winter gardens. With one, two, three and three bed duplex apartments available, the majority of the properties will enjoy superb dual aspect views across Canary Wharf and the City. Each apartment at Capital Towers has been designed and specified to provide stylish living space with every emphasis on natural light and beautifully proportioned rooms that exude the highest levels of quality and style.

There is a communal interconnecting podium roof garden at level four and residents at Sky View Tower will also enjoy a garden terrace at level 34, providing over 880 sq ft of dramatic communal landscaped space. Exclusive resident’s facilities include a private lounge, concierge service, secure parking levels and fully equipped gymnasium. With the focus in the Capital continuing to move east, and prices continuing to move apace in Stratford Centre with Far Eastern investors paying ever greater prices, these apartments are central to a magnet for property investment, as Stratford is transformed into London’s newest metropolitan area.

The Explore

Climbed with Slayaaaa.

We’d both been keeping an eye on this one for a while, watching as it crept up slowly on the Stratford skyline, waiting for when it would finally top out and reach maximum height.

Despite not having the grandeur of the city cluster close by (and being in the arse end of Stratford) it still dwarfs pretty much everything nearby and nicely overlooks the Olympic Park area. I had been staring at this every day on the way to and from work longing to get up it.

Unsurprisingly others had the same idea and were quicker out the traps, a few pictures from the crane began to surface online so we decided now was the time before it got too baited up or fully “James Kingston’d”.

No doubt others on here have done this already but hadn’t seen any reports yet so thought why not. Besides I’ve been notably slack on any reports recently.

We had to climb this double-quick as time was of a premium, we only had about an hour to get up, take some shots and back down before our last train rolled in to Stratford. The views lived up to expectations and it felt great to finally get up there although the lack of time and fairly strong winds meant my pictures didn’t quite come out as I’d hoped, they don’t really do it justice.

I’ve also included a short snippet of video shot on my SJCAM4000 as there seemed to have been a bit of interest on these recently. Again, only short and a bit rushed but hopefully this may help give others who might be on the fence about buying one an idea on its low light capabilities.

Anyway, on with the pics, hope you enjoy...

Thanks folks :thumb

Video was set to private for some reason, my bad. Wouldn't worry though, you're werent missing much. It seems to default to SD rather than HD and has compressed so looks crap compared to the original footage :coat

Silver medal on this one, think dicky and his 50,000 page views might have beaten you up here, good effort though. Looks alright considering it's miles from anything worth pointing a camera at

Looks a fair height that does, nice work.

I thought they made it clear they weren't claiming a first, tbh.
