Principal Place

Principal Place is an office building in Shoreditch featuring 15 floors of modern architecture designed by Foster + Partners. The structure includes floor-to-ceiling windows throughout, multiple dining options, and public plaza space at ground level.

The building was completed in 2016 and initially became a major headquarters for a technology company from 2018 onward. Its construction represented a shift in how contemporary office design developed in this area.

The public plaza at ground level serves as a meeting place for workers and visitors, with restaurants, shops, and open seating areas throughout. People use the space during the day for lunch, shopping, and casual conversations with colleagues.

The building is conveniently located near Liverpool Street Station and easily accessible by public transport. The public areas are most lively during business hours when workers are on-site.

The building features two substantial roof terraces with views across London's financial district and contemporary Shoreditch. These often-overlooked spaces provide a quiet retreat that contrasts with the hustle of the city below.
