Take a walk through the historic and financial heart of London, where the oldest and newest buildings stand side by side.

The City of London is a place of ongoing regeneration. Since the introduction of Richard Rogers’ industrial Lloyd’s Building in 1984, there has been a sea change of architecture within the City, breaking traditions of Portland Stone facades and expanding to include some of the tallest and most high-profile skyscrapers in the country, alongside a host of creative public realm projects and cultural buildings.

On this tour, we’ll explore the glass tower offices at 52-54 Lime Street (KPF), 100 Bishopsgate (Allies and Morrison/Woods Baggot) and 22 Bishopsgate (PLP) -  which have all sent the city to new heights in the recent years – alongside the sites of upcoming projects such as 40 Leadenhall Street (Make Architects), 1 Undershaft (Eric Parry), 100 Leadenhall Street (SOM), 6-8 Bishopsgate (Wilkinson Eyre) and 55 Bishopsgate (AFK).

 

To provide the full scope of the area, we’ll also explore the nearby ’groundscraper’ Fen Court (Eric Parry), Angel Court (Fletcher Priest Architects), Rothschild Bank (OMA), and the RIBA prize-winning Bloomberg Square (Foster + Partners).  Join this unique discovery through the City!
