The tapered glass-and-steel skyscraper the City nicknamed the 'Cheesegrater' — its dramatic wedge profile shaped deliberately to preserve protected sightlines to St Paul's Cathedral. The slope isn't a flourish but a planning solution made into an icon, and at ground level the building gives back a soaring public galleria open to all. It stands amid a cluster of City towers as one of the skyline's most recognizable forms. For visitors, the ground-floor space is worth stepping into, and the angled silhouette is one of the most distinctive on the London skyline, best appreciated from a little distance.
