How high is high enough?

In my earlier post I promised to post some photos I've taken from the block next door to Tileman House, No.125 Upper Richmond Road. These were taken from the 8th floor a few months back. Although at the resolution I'm using to fit them in here you can't see it, take my word for it that you can see the City of London, the Wembley arch, the Post Office Tower and much more from the top of this building.

And just as importantly, you can see 125 Upper Richmond Road - and most of the other blocks along this stretch of Upper Richmond Road - from Putney Bridge. These are highly visible buildings, made more so because Upper Richmond Road is slightly elevated up Putney Hill. In short, the views from and to these buildings is incredibly important. Before too long, we could see at least three high rise overdevelopments in this stretch, to mix in with the sixties office blocks that add so little to the environment.

That's not the Putney I know - and it's not the Putney I want. How about you?
