The Leadenhall Building, EC3

  • 122 Leadenhall Street proposed building
  • The Leadenhall Building front view
  • The Leadenhall Building night-time view


Demolition and preliminary basement works are now complete. We are reviewing the design and construction proposals alongside a reassessment of the timing of delivery of these offices into the market.

Designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, the current design would deliver a 47 storey building, rising to a height of 736 ft and providing 612,000 sq ft of the highest quality office space in the City. The spectacular scale of the public space at the base of the building, featuring mature trees and a range of retail and amenity provision, would be unprecedented in London.

The development’s tapering shape delivers varied sizes of floor plates, all with spectacular views over London. In addition, locating the core to the rear of the building allows for adaptable, clear floors at each level.

With a development of this scale in such a prominent location, great care has been taken to ensure it sits well with the surrounding architecture. In particular, with regard to the planning viewing corridors in place, when viewed from the west looking towards St Paul’s Cathedral, The Leadenhall Building will appear to ‘lean away’ from that historic monument.
