Strata SE1

Common card · No. 423713

Strata SE1 is a 147-metre (482 ft), 43-storey skyscraper at Elephant & Castle in the London Borough of Southwark with more than 1,000 residents living in its 408 flats. At the time of its construction, the building, designed by BFLS (formerly Hamiltons), was the tallest residential building in London and the first building in the world to have wind turbines integral to its original structure, although these no longer function. In March 2014, an Ipsos MORI poll for New London Architecture of 500 members of the public aged 16–64 declared Strata SE1 Londoners' fifth favourite tall building, behind The Gherkin, The Shard, 122 Leadenhall Street (The Cheesegrater) and One Canada Square (Canary Wharf).
