Afternoon,
Its been a while since ive done a rooftop in London tbh, and had no idea of what to attempt at all, apart from seeing in the papers that there was a load of construction going up in Canary Wharf currently, so i thought that would be a good place to start. I met up with Letchbo, and after a catch up and a wander around the Isle of Dogs, we found ourselves eyeing up this place. Its got 3 towers being built on the site and we went for the centre one at first, when at the top it wasnt the best for space and the floor was basically all rebar, so after getting some shots there, we heading to the one on the left. Going up a second flight of 32 flights of stairs was taking its toll on us, but in this tower's staircase was a dome CCTV camera on every floor. We thought, we havent seen or heard anyone on site, we may as well carry on, and im glad we did cos this rooftop was flat and a much better vantage point.
Heres something i took from Wiki:
Maine Tower is a 41-storey residential building that will form part of the Harbour Central development in Canary Wharf, London, England.
Maine Tower will include 297 apartments starting at £655,000 for a one-bedroom unit. Harbour Central will total 642 apartments across five buildings.[1]
200 apartments offered for sale on 12 July 2015 sold out in five hours.[2]
Maine Tower is due for completion in 2019.[2]
So still abit of time to hit this one before its topped out and finished
Heres afew of my photos from that night.
