Moor House, Commercial high-rise building at London Wall and Moorgate, City of London, United Kingdom.
Moor House is an 84-meter glass structure with 19 floors of office space in the City of London. The curved facade gracefully follows the street's contour, with ground-level retail areas and direct connections to nearby transport hubs.
The building was completed in 2004, replacing a 1960s office complex following a lengthy planning debate in the late 1990s. This transformation reflected broader changes in how the city was reshaping its central districts.
The name references the historic Moorgate, a former entrance in London's medieval city wall. Visitors can observe how the building's design connects this historical identity with today's financial district.
Access is straightforward from both Moorgate and Liverpool Street, making it simple to reach the site. Ground-floor shops and cafes are open to the public, offering convenient stops along your walk.
The structure rests on London's deepest foundations, extending about 57 meters below ground level. Hidden beneath the surface is a ventilation shaft that serves the Crossrail station underground.
