Londons Tall Buildings Survey 2021

Keybridge is the landmark redevelopment of the former BT Telephone Exchange site on South Lambeth Road, providing 595 new homes, over an acre of public landscape, and 9,000 sqm of commercial/retail with 500–1,000 new jobs for the area. The first phase involves 74,300 sqm of redevelopment across a mix of building typologies: a tower, a linear block, maisonettes and two mansion blocks. The scheme introduces four hundred and fifteen dwellings on the site of a redundant telecoms switching station, built in the 1970s. The proposals seek to repair the urban fabric which has been truncated and blighted by the introverted brutalist development.
