Imperial Monumental Halls and Tower, Unfinished Gothic architectural complex in City of Westminster, United Kingdom.
The Imperial Monumental Halls and Tower was designed as a massive Gothic structure reaching 167 meters high, adjacent to Westminster Abbey in London.
Architects John Pollard Seddon and Edward Beckitt Lamb presented their design to the Royal Academy in 1904 during the reign of King Edward VII.
The building intended to house imperial trophies and monuments on lower levels, with archives above, reflecting British Empire achievements.
The proposed reception hall measured 20 meters wide, while the Great Monumental Hall extended 59 meters toward Great College Street.
The structure would have become the tallest building in the United Kingdom, featuring a high-level open ambulatory and a corona topped with bells.
