Flats to rent in Ontario Tower - Canary Wharf

Ontario Tower

Streamlining first really entered the public consciousness around the start of the 20th century. And in Ontario Tower, it reached its architectural apogee at the beginning of the 21st.

Soaring 30 storeys above the riverside, offering 360 degrees panoramic views over London, the river, and Canary Wharf's distinctive futuristic skyline, Ontario Tower defines the high note in a carefully blended complex combining six spectacular penthouses and 260 luxury apartments.

Vividly evoking the streamlined shapes of the "age of speed", from a Cunard ocean liner's prow to an Apollo spacecraft, Ontario Tower employs the most advanced construction techniques to achive a slender, aluminium and glass "aerofoil", topped with a 30 degrees neon-rimmed elliptical plane.
