Landmark Pinnacle is a 233-metre (764 ft)[3][4] skyscraper constructed by developer Chalegrove Properties in Marsh Wall on the Isle of Dogs, London, United Kingdom. The 75-storeys Landmark Pinnacle is a short distance west from the financial center of Canary Wharf. [5] It is the tallest residential tower in the United Kingdom, the tallest residential building in western Europe and has more habitable floors than any other building in western Europe.[6] As of 2023, Landmark Pinnacle is the fourth-tallest building in the United Kingdom.[7] The development was formerly known as City Pride, the same name as the public house it replaced, before a name change in 2016.

The Landmark Pinnacle tower boasts the United Kingdom’s first-ever residential tropical terrarium gardens and the highest tropical residential gardens in the United Kingdom. The Panoramic Sky Gardens are located on the entire 27th floor of the tower, covering an area of 6,350 square feet. The garden is split into an East and West side, offering panoramic views over Canary Wharf and the City of London. The gardens are home to over 3,500 plants from all around the world.[8]

Since its completion, Landmark Pinnacle has been the recipient of several prestigious awards. The building has won the Premier Guarantee Awards for Quality Recognition in 2021 and 2022, as well as the Excellence Award in 2021. [9] In addition, it was awarded the Best Luxury High Rise Living category at the 2023 Luxury Lifestyle Awards. [10]
