The Leadenhall Building

The tower’s distinctive tapering form – designed to protect views of St Paul’s Cathedral from Fleet Street - will make a dynamic addition to the City of London’s skyline. The rectangular floor plates are unencumbered by internal columns and the building’s services are contained within a separate structural element to maximise net floor space. The base of the tower will form a six-storey enclosed public space with shops, cafes and restaurants.
