Drapers' Gardens, Modern skyscraper in City of London, United Kingdom.
The high-rise structure reaches 100 meters in height and contains 30 floors of office space at the intersection of Throgmorton Avenue and Copthall Avenue.
The original building, designed by architect Richard Seifert and completed in 1967, stood as the tallest demolished structure in the United Kingdom until 2007.
The land belongs to the Drapers' Company, which first occupied the site in 1544 when it served as a market garden and recreation space.
The current building, completed in 2009, offers 270,000 square feet of modern office space with three rooftop terraces and a pocket park.
Archaeological excavations during construction revealed Roman remains dating from 63 AD to 383 AD, indicating continuous urban development at this location.
