8 Bishopsgate

This 50-storey tower in the heart of the City will provide an office-led, mixed-use building with flexible retail space at ground and mezzanine floor levels, and a public viewing gallery at level 50.

The development, which replaces the buildings at 6–8 Bishopsgate and 150 Leadenhall Street and is bounded by those two roads, is conceived as a series of stacked blocks, in response to its urban environment. The site is located in the ‘Eastern Tall Building Cluster’ within the mature, historic urban context of the City of London, which is characterised by new, contemporary commercial development sites adjacent to, and contrasting with, numerous historic buildings.
