Location
London Wall
Description
The owners of this building say that it provides high quality office accommodation with a typical floorplate of up to 1,900m².   They add that it, "... benefits from good natural daylight and the upper floors offer panoramic views of the City of London. .... The sinuous lines of the building reflect the site’s geometry and constraints, and make this a notable landmark in this part of the City."



The Mimoa website explains that One London Wall, "... sits above the headquarters of the Worshipful Company of Plaisterers (Plasterers) and their two Adam style halls, which gives the scheme an impression of being windowless on the lower levels. The entrance to the building is off London Wall. Two extremely tall cylindrical glass lobbies allow access to a small vestibule, from where visitors ride an escalator up to the first floor reception area. Access can also be gained from the pedway system (see below) - a series of elevated walkways intended to carry pedestrians over the busy roads."
