Principal Place

Principal Place is a striking 15-storey mixed-use building located in Shoreditch, London, designed by the renowned architectural firm Foster and Partners and completed in 2016. It serves as the UK headquarters for Amazon.com since 2018 and features a pedestrian-friendly piazza that connects it to Shoreditch High Street. The development also includes the impressive 50-storey Principal Tower. Notably, the site has historical significance, as it was once part of the northern cemetery of Roman Londinium, with archaeological excavations revealing a hoard of Roman coins and Early Neolithic artifacts, making it a fascinating spot for both tourists and researchers interested in London's rich history.
