Walking along the Thames near Westferry, I spotted this example of what seems to be a launch gantry recycled as a set of balconies for this riverside tower block. It even features an enclosed top floor, akin to the 'White Room' of real rocket gantries.

No sign, alas, of a massive crawler ready to trundle the whole edifice northwards should the Thames Barrier spring a leak.
