Work has started on a 14-storey residential tower in Woolwich, south-east London, for Notting Hill Genesis, which the housing association said would feature 100% affordable homes.

Contractor Higgins is designing and building the £21m block, which will deliver one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, 28 of which will be London-living-rent homes and the remaining 47 will be shared-ownership.

The block is to be built by the River Thames on the site of a former pub.
