40 Bank Street, Office skyscraper in Canary Wharf, United Kingdom.
Description
40 Bank Street is an office building with 33 floors that rises approximately 153 meters (502 feet) in Canary Wharf. Its light-colored stone facade features uniformly spaced windows across the entire height of the structure.
History
The building opened in 2003 as part of the initial wave of six high-rises developed at Canary Wharf following One Canada Square. This construction phase represented a significant expansion of the financial district.
Culture
The building represents London's shift into a global financial hub through its modern design and connection with nearby commercial structures. It fits into the neighborhood's character as a place where finance and business activity shape the local landscape.
Practical
The building connects directly to Jubilee Place underground shopping mall, making it easy to access. Inside, visitors encounter a renovated lobby and modern security facilities.
Did you know?
The building features a distinctive curtain wall design that creates an optical effect making it appear as if two separate structures have merged into one. This visual trick results from how the window and wall elements are arranged on the facade.
