22 Bishopsgate

22 Bishopsgate is a well-known London skyscraper, which most people refer to as twenty-two for short. It occupies a very lucrative location in London’s famous financial district and its 62 above-ground floors rise to a height of 278 m (912 ft). It is the second tallest building in London (after The Shard) and the same rung in the UK.

The building was originally supposed to be taller, but the stalled project was extensively redesigned and completed in its current form.
