St Botolph Building by Grimshaw Architects, 2011
Houndsditch
Aldgate, City of London
London, September 2015
“The St Botolph Building is a commercial office in Houndsditch, central London, opened in 2011 and designed by Grimshaw Architects. It is one of a number of landmark buildings recently delivered or in development to the East of the Gherkin in the City of London ward of Aldgate, which together with the wards of Langbourn, Cornhill and Lime Street forms the centre of the UK insurance industry. Two of the three main tenants, Jardine Lloyd Thompson and Lockton, are businesses with a substantial insurance broking component, which are therefore reliant on close proximity to the Lloyd's building and the globally-significant London market in insurance contracts that focuses on Lloyd's of London.[3] The third main tenant, Clyde & Co, also has insurance ties as one of the largest insurance and reinsurance law firms in the world.” (St Botolph Building, Wikipedia)
