1864 Meets 2026: Old Iron, New Glass

·

Look up and notice that 160 years of history are stacked vertically in the same sightline in London. At the bottom of the frame is the ornate ironwork crest of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway, dated 1864, sitting on its stone parapet like it’s been there forever (because it basically has). And rising directly behind it, filling the rest of the frame, is One Blackfriars. That’s a 50-storey residential tower clad in curved glass that Londoners have nicknamed “the Vase” because of its shape.
