London Wall Place

London Wall Place sets the standard for new commercial developments where public realm is central to the scheme design. The 2-acre commercial campus, which features two buildings with over 500,000ft² of premium workspace, 35,000ft² of roof terraces, and two retail premises, has an acre of new public gardens at its heart. It pays tribute to its brutalist predecessor through the white concrete and ribcage design that encases the buildings. 

A series of pocket parks form the new terraced gardens, which are set among the restored remains of the Roman city wall and medieval St Alphage church tower. The ‘highwalks’ of the 1960s, meanwhile, have been reimagined as 350m of gently curving Corten bridges through and beyond the site. Together with the adjacent Salters’ Hall Garden and St Alphage Garden, the area will deliver over 780m² of green walls and more than 1.5 acres of public realm
