100 Leadenhall

100 Leadenhall, also known as The Diamond, is an impressive mixed-use skyscraper set to become the third-tallest building in London's financial district. Designed by the renowned architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, this wedge-shaped tower features a striking facade of elongated diamond shapes. While its construction has garnered support from the City of London’s planning committee, it has faced criticism for potentially obstructing views of iconic landmarks like St Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London. Upon completion, the development will offer a free public viewing gallery, alongside a restaurant, bar, and shops, making it an exciting destination for both tourists and researchers interested in modern architecture and urban development.
