100 Leadenhall, nicknamed The Diamond, is a mixed-use development approved for the City of London. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the tower will be the financial district's third-tallest building upon completion. The wedge-shaped building will have a facade of elongated diamond shapes.[3]
A spokesperson from St Paul's Cathedral said that the tower would have a "harmful impact" on the protected views of the cathedral, and a statement from the Tower of London expressed concern at the skyscraper's diminution of the "visual dominance" of the historic site.[1] The City of London's planning and transportation committee voted 22–2 in favour of the 100 Leadenhall build in July 2018.[3]
The development will include a free public viewing gallery, a restaurant, a bar and shops.[3]
