Chronicle Tower

Chronicle Tower rises thirty six stories above the City Road Basin, making it the tallest structure in this part of Islington. The building serves as a vertical landmark for those navigating the transition between the historic canals of the area and the glass-fronted offices of the nearby technology hub. Its design comes from the architects at Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, a firm recognized globally for their work on the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Completed in two thousand sixteen, the tower provides a sharp contrast to the surrounding industrial history of the canal side.
