The Scalpel
On the corner of Lime Street and Leadenhall Street, The Scalpel is instantly recognisable due to its distinctive angular design. Cutting through the air, this skyscraper stands at 190m tall with 42 storeys and was purpose built as the headquarters for insurance company W.R. Berkley.
Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, The Scalpel's public spaces are an important part of its make-up and includes a new public square at the base of the building. As well as restoring the historic Lime Street Square, the new public space includes a new coffee shop, echoing the original 17th-century City coffee houses.
