Looking up at Balfron Tower in Tower Hamlets, London.

The tower block is a quintessentially urban structure, but in the wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster also symbolises the raging inequality manifest in our growing, populous cities.

This photograph was taken in Balfron Tower, Poplar, Tower Hamlets, one of the most unequal places to live in the UK.
