Charrington Tower, originally called Providence Tower,[1] is a 44-storey 136 m (446 ft) residential tower located in the New Providence Wharf development on the north side of the River Thames in the Blackwall area of east London, completed in 2016.[2]

It was commissioned by the developer Ballymore, designed by the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill architecture firm, and built by Balfour Beatty. The project was announced in Singapore in June 2012, followed by "investor events" in Hong Kong and Singapore in September 2012.[3]

In August 2024, a fire broke out on the 25th floor, destroying half of an apartment and its balcony.[4]
