The Heron, Skyscraper in City of London, United Kingdom
The Heron is a 230-meter-tall skyscraper with 46 floors of glass and steel construction located at 110 Bishopsgate. The building contains 36 floors of office space organized into village-style sections, each with a triple-height atrium for natural light throughout the workspaces.
The building was completed in 2013 and transformed the City of London's financial district when it opened. It became the tallest structure in the area at that time, reshaping how the neighborhood looked on the horizon.
The lower floors house the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, with a concert hall and two theaters where performances happen regularly. These cultural spaces bring artistic life into the financial district and serve the local community.
The building welcomes visitors to explore its public areas, including shops and dining on the upper floors. Early morning visits are best for fewer crowds and clearer views across London.
Duck & Waffle restaurant operates on the 40th floor and never closes, allowing people to experience London's skyline at dawn, midday, or midnight. This round-the-clock service creates a unique dining experience that changes with the light at any hour.
