125 London Wall, Postmodern office building in City of London, United Kingdom
125 London Wall is a postmodern office building in the City of London with two towers positioned at right angles to each other. The 82-meter-high structure extends partially over the street below, creating a distinctive profile on the skyline.
The building was completed in 1992 and replaced the former Lee House structure, which was demolished following financial market changes in the 1980s. Its construction marked a turning point in how the financial district was being redesigned and rebuilt.
The structure takes its name from the historic street running alongside it and shapes the district's appearance through its distinctive two-tower design. Visitors can experience the mix of retail spaces and open areas that connect the building to the surrounding city.
The building features open arcade spaces with shops that are accessible from street level, making it easy to navigate the layout. Multiple restaurants and cafés are located inside the complex, offering places to stop and relax while exploring.
The structure straddles an ancient Roman city boundary that runs right through the building, dividing its interior. This intersection with the past is visible when walking through the pedestrian areas and serves as a physical reminder of the site's long history.
