Last City Completion

201 Bishopsgate.JPG

The date at the bottom of the picture above is when the last building in The City of London was completed. This is British Land 's 201 Bishopsgate and the Broadgate Tower; 793,342 sq ft of offices completed to shell and core. The internal fit out of the buildings is still ongoing.

 

But, last building to be completed in the City? What nonsense is this? Well, the silver and red thing right in front of it should give you a clue. The Dragon Rampant (two legs off the ground) is a City boundary marker, beyond this point it's Hackney (or Norton Folgate depending on your point of view). Since the development is built right up to the border it's the last building you'll see in The City...at least on its northern periphery...and on this bit of road...
