10 Elmbank Gardens

10 Elmbank Gardens is a prominent high-rise building in the Charing Cross area of Glasgow, Scotland. The signature 13-storey tower (often nicknamed the Charing Cross Tower or the Elmbank Tower) overlooks the M8 motorway and stands directly opposite the Mitchell Library, it was designed by Richard Seifert and constructed between 1971 and 1975. It is one of the tallest and most prominent high rise buildings on the western side of Glasgow city centre, beyond Blythswood Hill. The building once formed part of a wider complex of mixed-use commercial buildings known as the Charing Cross Complex, but as of 2026 these have been demolished as part of wider plans to regenerate the Charing Cross area, with only the tower remaining.
