The Leadenhall Building (also known as the Cheese Grater) was completed earlier this year and was designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. It has a distinctive taper designed to protect the views of St. Paul's Cathedral, hence its nickname the Cheese Grater. The building's services are contained in a separate structural element to maximise next floor space. The base will form a six-storey public space with shops, cafes and restaurants. Looking north-northeast.
