Last Tuesday Caroline Pidgeon, along with Walworth resident Jeremy Leach, went up to the top of the new Strata Tower at the Elephant and Castle, a massive 43 storey building which has been growing by a storey every week for the last year! The building is in Newington Ward, the area Caroline represents on Southwark Council.
The views from the top were incredible, making landmarks on the London skyline - such as the London Eye and Canary Wharf - look almost small! The next stage will be the installation of three wind turbines on top which will produce energy for the building.
"It was incredible to experience just how tall the new building will be and to see how the flats will actually look inside. The block will contain both private and affordable apartments. It really starts to put Elephant and Castle on the map", commented Caroline.
