The Tower was situated at 76 Westminster Bridge Road. My dad was the landlord of this 18th century Charrington Bass owned pub from 1975 till around 1984; it was demolished in 1988. As far as I know it was called The Tower as there was a Roman tower on the site and we regularly had local archaeologists dig up an area at the back of the pub that was waste ground.The other claim to fame was that footballer Kenny Sansom lived in the estate just across the road  and was a regular.
