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]
