The water towers are no longer in use but used to house water containers that were connected to the sprinkler systems in the Bryant & May match factory. The water towers are ten storeys high.

Before the London Olympics in 2012 there was discussion about using the top of the water tower, closest to the Olympic Park, to house a missile battery to protect the park against aerial attack.
