Tall Buildings and Skyscrapers

22 Bishopsgate is a 278-meter, 62-story office skyscraper in the City of London financial district of London, England, designed by PLP Architecture and completed in 2020. It rose on the site of an earlier scheme, The Pinnacle, whose construction had stalled after the Great Recession. The tower is the second-tallest building in the United Kingdom and the seventeenth-tallest in Europe, providing about 120,000 square meters of office space alongside roughly 4,000 square meters of restaurants, retail, and viewing galleries, including a free public viewing gallery on its 58th floor described as the highest in the UK.
