The Queen’s Tower
Exhibition Road, Kensington, London SW7 2AR - England, UK

Map
Designed by Thomas Colcutt, this tower is the last remaining part of the Imperial Institute built in 1887. The rest of the building was demolished in the 1950s to make way for the expansion of Imperial College, but the tower was saved and strengthened to become a freestanding structure. This magnificent building contains 10 bells that were a gift to the Prince of Wales from Princess Millar of Melbourne in 1892. It is one of the tallest buildings in the area.
