The Ontario Tower is the highest residential tower block along the River Thames and is located in Blackwall in the London Docklands.[1]

It was built by Ballymore as part of a wider scheme in New Providence Wharf to provide new housing to meet changing demand in the Docklands area. The Ontario Tower is a distinctive landmark of the Tower Hamlets skyline of a primarily glass and aluminium design. Its roof is sloped,[2] with a blue LED-rimmed elliptical profile.[3]

The lobby contains digital boards running through the floor, wall and the ceiling showing stock prices and financial news in real time.[4]

The construction began in 2004 and was completed in 2007. The tower is 155.55m in height and has 32 floors.[1]

In 2016, the Charrington Tower (originally called Providence Tower) was completed on an adjacent site.[5]

The tower includes a shared spa with the adjacent Radisson Hotel, a private garden, valet parking, 25-metre swimming pool, and a business centre.[6]
