Lexicon Tower

Lexicon Tower is a residential skyscraper in Islington with 36 floors featuring floor-to-ceiling glass walls on all sides. The building contains about 300 apartments of different types along with shared facilities like a gym and spa.

The building developed from a master plan created in 2004 and was completed in 2016. The design passed through different architectural teams before reaching its final form.

The tower brings street-level shops and a waterfront restaurant to the neighborhood, adding to the rhythm of daily life in this part of the city. These mixed-use spaces encourage people to move between the building and the surrounding area.

The best time to explore the area is during the day when the ground-floor shops and restaurant are open and the surroundings feel active. The location is easy to reach and sits near good transport connections.

The building uses a special glass facade system with low-iron glass panels and curved corners that bring extra daylight into the apartments. This carefully designed detail significantly contributes to how bright and open the spaces feel inside.
