A £1 billion vision to transform the area around Paddington Station — including building the tallest skyscraper in west London — has been submitted to Westminster council for approval.
The plans for the 254-metre tower, heavily criticised last week in a report from Historic England, have been revised to make it taller.
It will include an open-air “sky garden” and restaurant.
The tower has been dubbed the Paddington Pole and the Skinny Shard, but the project is officially known as Paddington Place.
The Singaporean-backed scheme, from Shard developer Sellar Property and its architect Renzo Piano, includes 330 homes.
The ramp at the entrance to the station would be replaced with a piazza, below, and the main Tube ticket hall would be four times larger with a vaulted glass ceiling.
