Steel and Storm Over Bishopsgate

We’d come out of the train station at Liverpool Street earlier in the morning but when I walked past here, I stopped dead on Bishopsgate, tilted the camera straight up, and watched three towers race each other into a sky that looked like it was about to pick a fight. The central building’s white steel exoskeleton catches what little light the clouds allow through, while its darker neighbours absorb everything else. Glass, steel, and corporate ambition stacked floor after floor.

The bright yellow Liverpool Street sign is almost the only colour in the scene. What does that say about office work in the modern world?

TIL that the distinctive diagonal-braced tower at the centre of this shot is 100 Bishopsgate, which at 172 metres tall, is one of the City of London’s tallest buildings. Bet there’s a nice view from the top floor!

1864 Meets 2026: Old Iron, New Glass

Look up and notice that 160 years of history are stacked vertically in the same sightline in London. At the bottom of the frame is the ornate ironwork crest of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway, dated 1864, sitting on its stone parapet like it’s been there forever (because it basically has). And rising directly behind it, filling the rest of the frame, is One Blackfriars. That’s a 50-storey residential tower clad in curved glass that Londoners have nicknamed “the Vase” because of its shape.
