One Canada Square, Corporate skyscraper in Canary Wharf, United Kingdom.
The building reaches 240 meters in height and features a distinctive pyramid-shaped roof topped with an aircraft warning light system.
One Canada Square maintained its position as the tallest building in the United Kingdom from its completion in 1991 until The Shard surpassed it in 2012.
The ground floor lobby displays a collection of Italian and Guatemalan marble installations, reflecting international architectural influences in British corporate design.
The structure contains 32 elevators serving 50 floors, with the ground level connecting to an underground shopping center containing over 200 retail establishments.
During the 1991 Christmas season, the building utilized ornamental lighting and laser displays to compensate for low occupancy rates during an economic downturn.
