20 Fenchurch Street

20 Fenchurch Street is a new addition to the City of London skyline in 2014. Its distinctive shape has lead to it being nicknamed The Walkie-Talkie. The upper floors of the 160 metre skyscraper bulge out, the top-heavy nature of the building allows higher rental yields as floor space towards the top of a building generally costs more.

The top three floors are dedicated to a viewing gallery and sky garden, an area open to the public, which will offer fantastic views of London and beyond. Designed by Uruguayan architect Rafael Viñoly it is certain to become another iconic London building.
