List of tallest buildings and structures in London

Template:Infobox skyline London, the capital and largest city of the United Kingdom, has 128 completed buildings that are at least 100 metres (328 feet) tall as of 2025, 42 of which have a height greater than 150 metres (492 ft).<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> London has one of the largest skylines in Europe; it has the most skyscrapers taller than 150 m (492 ft) in the United Kingdom and in Western Europe, and the third most of any city in Europe overall, after Moscow and Istanbul. London's skyline has undergone immense transformation in the early 21st century. Since 2013, the tallest building in London and the United Kingdom has been The Shard, the only supertall skyscraper. The pyramid-shaped building in Southwark rises to a height of 306 m (1,004 ft).<ref name="skyscraperCenter" /> London has two primary skyscraper clusters: the City of London in central London, and Canary Wharf with the Isle of Dogs in East London, alongside numerous smaller groupings throughout Greater London.

For two centuries since 1710, St Paul's Cathedral was the tallest structure in London. While early skyscrapers sprouted in the late 19th and early 20th century in the United States, London—then the world's largest city—avoided this trend. In 1894, after work on the 12-storey Queen Anne’s Mansions, the London Building Act imposed a height limit of 30 m (98 ft) or less across the city.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> This restriction was lifted in the 1950s,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> permitting the construction of high-rises taller than St. Paul's. The destruction during The Blitz allowed more room for modern development.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Early skyscrapers were built on the west side of central London, most notably the BT Tower in Fitzrovia in 1965. A concentration of tall buildings arose in the City of London, including office towers such as St Helen's and Tower 42, and Barbican Estate, a three-towered residential complex that is a prominent example of brutalism. The London Docklands in the Isle of Dogs, which had become disused in the 1960s, underwent a significant redevelopment plan in the 1980s, resulting in the financial district of Canary Wharf. Among the first skyscrapers built there was One Canada Square in 1991. At 236 m (774 ft), it surpassed Tower 42 to be London's tallest building; it is currently the city's third-tallest building and still the tallest in Canary Wharf.

Since the 2000s, London has been experiencing a substantial skyscraper boom, which has accelerated in the late 2010s. This initially took place mostly in the City of London and Canary Wharf. The Gherkin, completed in 2004 in the City, is a recognised example of contemporary architecture. Further office skyscrapers in the City of London, such as 20 Fenchurch Street and 122 Leadenhall Street, have been given nicknames due to their distinctive shapes. The City of London's tallest building, 22 Bishopsgate, initially broke ground under the name The Pinnacle in 2008, but construction was halted in 2012. After a redesign, which removed the proposed curved-glass roof,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> it was completed in 2020. Numerous skyscrapers are planned for the City, including 1 Undershaft, which would be the tallest in the district, owing to high demand for grade-A office space.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Canary Wharf has seen a major influx in residential skyscrapers since the 2010s, with the Wood Wharf neighbourhood expanding the skyscraper cluster eastwards.

High-rises have increasingly proliferated across London since the 2010s, particularly in the areas of Vauxhall/Nine Elms, Elephant and Castle, and Stratford. The tallest buildings in each area (One Nine Elms City Tower, Highpoint, and Manhattan Loft Gardens respectively) have been built since 2018. This has been associated with residential regeneration efforts; in Stratford, development was spurred by the 2012 Summer Olympics. The New London Vernacular has influenced the design of these new towers. In the late 2010s and 2020s, this has extended to more areas across inner and outer London, most notably in Lewisham, Croydon, North Acton, and Wembley Park. One Blackfriars, completed in 2019 in the South Bank, will be accompanied by skyscrapers in the Bankside Yards project. Considerable residential high-rise development has also occurred in Barking, Blackwall, Canada Water, Canning Town, Greenwich Peninsula, Paddington, Poplar, Shoreditch, Silvertown, Southwark, Wandsworth, White City, and along City Road.

History

Medieval and early modern period

The history of tall structures in London began with the completion of the Template:Convert White Tower, a part of the Tower of London, in 1098.<ref name="BBCNews1">Template:Cite news</ref> The first structure to surpass a height of Template:Convert was the Old St Paul's Cathedral. Completed in 1310, it stood at a height of Template:Convert.<ref name="BBCNews1"/> St Paul's was the world's tallest structure until 1311, when its height was surpassed by Lincoln Cathedral in Lincoln.<ref name="Lincoln">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="Lincoln2">Template:Cite book</ref> It regained the title when the spire of Lincoln Cathedral fell in 1549.<ref name="Lincoln2"/><ref name="Lincoln3">Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="Lincoln4">Template:Cite book</ref>

Although the spire of the Old St Paul's was destroyed by lightning in 1561, it still stood as the tallest structure in London,<ref name="Lincoln4"/> while the world's tallest structure became Strasbourg Cathedral in Strasbourg, France.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite bookTemplate:Self-published source</ref>Template:Self-published inline St Paul's was severely damaged by the Great Fire of London in 1666.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> The title of the tallest structure in London passed to Southwark Cathedral, which stands at a height of Template:Convert and no structure in London again rose above 100 metres until 1710, when the current St Paul's Cathedral was completed at Template:Convert, becoming London's tallest building.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="BBCNews1"/>

Late 1800s

Few skyscrapers were built in London before the late 20th century, owing to restrictions on building heights originally imposed by the London Building Act 1894 (57 & 58 Vict. c. ccxiii), which followed the construction of the 14-storey Queen Anne's Mansions.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Though restrictions have long since been eased, harsh regulations remain to preserve protected views, especially those of St Paul's, the Tower of London and Palace of Westminster, as well as to comply with the requirements of the Civil Aviation Authority.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="londonist_December">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

1960s and 1970s

The lifting of height restrictions caused a boom in the construction of tall buildings during the 1960s.<ref name="londonist_December" /><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> St Paul's Cathedral remained as London's tallest building until it was overtaken in 1963 by the Millbank Tower at Template:Convert,<ref name="BBCNews1"/><ref name="Stefcu"/><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> which in turn was overtaken by the BT Tower which topped out just one year later in 1964 at Template:Convert and officially opened in 1965 (then known as the Post Office Tower).<ref name="BBCNews1"/><ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref> One of London's first notable tall buildings was the Template:Convert Centre Point, completed in 1966.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

1980s, 1990s and 2000s

The NatWest Tower, later renamed Tower 42, was completed in 1980, which at Template:Convert and 42 storeys, was considered the first "skyscraper" in the City of London.<ref name="Jones">Template:Cite book</ref> Its height was controversial, being contrary to the previous height restrictions, it was the tallest building in the United Kingdom at the time and also the tallest cantilever building in the world.<ref name="Jones"/> Following an over ten-year gap, One Canada Square was completed in 1991 at Template:Convert and formed the centrepiece of the Canary Wharf development,<ref name="Jones"/> which itself is part of the Isle of Dogs and can be considered the east-side of Central London. At 50 storeys, it became the tallest building in the United Kingdom.<ref name="Jones"/>

With the encouragement of Ken Livingstone who was Mayor of London from 2000 to 2008, a renewed trend for building tall was established in the 2000s.<ref name="Livingstone1">Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="Livingstone2">Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="Livingstone3">Template:Cite news</ref>

Following another over 10-year gap, 8 Canada Square and 25 Canada Square, both standing at Template:Convert, were completed at Canary Wharf in 2002.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Several others of a smaller height followed at Canary Wharf including: Heron Quays,<ref name="Clark">Template:Cite book</ref> 40 Bank Street in 2003 at Template:Convert,<ref name="Clark"/> 10 Upper Bank Street in 2003 at Template:Convert,<ref name="Clark"/> and 25 Bank Street in 2004 at Template:Convert.<ref name="Clark"/> In the City of London, The Gherkin was completed in 2003 at Template:Convert,<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Heron Tower in 2007 at Template:Convert,<ref name="Dijkman">Template:Cite book</ref> and the Broadgate Tower in 2008 at Template:Convert.<ref name="Dijkman2">Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="Clark"/> Notably, some of the awards given to 30 St Mary Axe (The Gherkin) include the Emporis Skyscraper Award in 2003<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and the RIBA Stirling Prize for Architecture in 2004.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
