  OXO Tower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The OXO Tower is a building with a prominent tower on the south bank of the river Thames in London, in the London Borough of Southwark.
When permission for the adverts was refused the tower was built with four sets of three vertically-aligned windows, each of which "coincidentally" happened to be in the shapes of a circle, a cross and a circle.
Although permission for redevelopment was granted, the support of the Greater London Council finally resulted in the tower and adjoining land being sold to the GLC in 1984 for 2.7 million pounds - who controversially sold the entire 13 acre (53,000 m²) site to the not-for-profit Coin Street Community Builders for just 750,000 pounds.
