24 Marsh Wall, also known as Landmark East, is a 44-storey residential
skyscraper in
Docklands,
London, which is among the
tallest structures in the city. Landmark East is part of a broader residential neighbourhood, The Landmark, also comprising the 30 story Landmark West at 22 Marsh Wall, two adjacent mid-rise apartment buildings, and the
Landmark Pinnacle. They sit in a prominent position at the north western edge of the
Isle of Dogs, and are very close to the financial center of the
Canary Wharf estate, at around 5-10 minutes walk.[1]
