London Wall Place is one of the most important recent developments in the City of London comprising two strikingly contemporary landmark [[Multi-storey_office_buildings|commercial buildings]] providing 500,000m<sup>2</sup> of Grade A office space.

Steel lies at the heart of the development, over 7,000 tonnes of it. Its use throughout is both impressive and dramatic; both buildings feature extensive cantilevered steelwork and deep transfer structures at Level 2 which allow them to extend well beyond the boundary of the two-storey common basement.

The two buildings rise to 12 storeys and 16 storeys with their steel superstructures [[Concept_design#Structural options for stability|laterally stabilised]] by [[Concept_design#Concrete or steel cores|concrete cores]].

==Judges' comment==
The large scheme, comprising two new [[Multi-storey_office_buildings|office buildings]] combined with carefully integrated public realm, provides a new setting along 250m of London Wall. The use of steel has been instrumental in enabling the two buildings to cantilever out over the existing road. A 5m deep mega [[Trusses|truss]] at level 2, with enormous steel members passing through it, offers the opportunity for a highly unusual new dining space.
