Elmbank Gardens

Elmbank Gardens is a multi-use commercial complex (and the name given to a former street) in the Charing Cross area of Glasgow, Scotland. Best known for its signature 13-storey tower (often nicknamed the Charing Cross Tower or the Elmbank Tower) which overlooks the M8 motorway and stands directly opposite the Mitchell Library, it was designed by Richard Seifert and constructed between 1971 and 1975. It is one of the tallest and most prominent high rise buildings on the western side of Glasgow city centre, beyond Blythswood Hill. The surface buildings of the subterranean railway station which serves Charing Cross are also an integral part of the complex. Since 1995, the tower element has been used as a hotel, whilst the remainder of the complex is home to offices and a number of other leisure and entertainment businesses. However, as of 2023 much of the complex is threatened with demolition and redevelopment as part of a wider regeneration plan for Charing Cross.
