The new tower will feature some of the highest views in London

Construction is under way for a new skyscraper which, at 235 metres (770ft), will be the highest residential skyscraper in western Europe.

Demolition work in Canary Wharf has already begun for the project, which is due for completion in 2020, and apartments are already on sale.

The project is being led by Chinese property developer Greenland Group, who has also invested in skyscraper projects in Los Angeles, Sydney and New York.

The new tower will be neck-and-neck in height with Canary Wharf's tallest skyscraper, the office building One Canada Square.

Here's a look at some architects' images of how the tower will look when it's complete.
