 Other Information
- Proposed in 1979, the project was designed by Abbott Howard and featured 100 luxury apartments, 30,000 square metres of floor space for offices that Esso was interested in occupying, and a huge new gallery to house the Tate Modern's sculpture collection.
- Environment Secretary, Michael Heseltine, vetoed plans to build this tower in Lambeth in 1981 following a public inquiry into the development. The tower by this time had been named "Green Giant" thanks to its heavy use of the colour green.
- The site, named Effra after the underground river that joins the Thames there, spanned both the west and east sides of the south of Vauxhall Bridge with the tower planned for the eastern side and the gallery on the western side. The two were to be linked under the road into a cohesive site.
- The Green Giant part of the Effra Site is now the site of the SIS Building, the gallery is now the location of St George Wharf.
