View of the London skyline from Oxo Tower Wharf
Highlight • Viewpoint
The building was largely rebuilt to an Art Deco design by company architect Albert Moore between 1928 and 1929. Much of the original power station was demolished, but the river facing facade was retained and extended. The Liebig Extract of Meat Company wanted to include a tower featuring illuminated signs advertising the name of their product. When permission for the advertisements was refused, the tower was built with four sets of three vertically-aligned windows, each of which "coincidentally" happened to be in the shapes of a circle, a cross and a circle. This was significant because skyline advertising was banned at the time along Southbank.[3]
Despite these windows being the building's architectural focal point, there is no general public access to the tower which is restricted to maintenance tradesmen.

Millennium Bridge
Highlight (Segment) • Bridge
It initially opened in June, 2000, but pedestrians experienced an alarming swaying motion on its opening day, the bridge was subsequently closed for almost two years so that modifications and repairs could be made to keep the bridge stable and stop the swaying motion. It reopened in February 2002.
The bridge provides a clear view of St Paul's south facade, framed by the bridge support.
