The Bishopsgate Tower is a 288m, 63-storey skyscraper being planned for the centre of London's main financial district, the City of London. The architects are Kohn Pederson Fox and the developer is the fund management company, DIFA. The tower was originally proposed at 307 metres but scaled down following complaints from the Civil Aviation Authority.

The tower was submitted for planning permission in June 2005. If built, it would become the tallest building in the UK, and one of the tallest buildings in Europe. It is one of several new skyscrapers planned for Central London, the others being Shard London Bridge (also known as the London Bridge Tower or Shard of Glass), Heron Tower, 122 Leadenhall Street, the Minerva Building and the Broadgate Tower.

Nearby are the skyscrapers Tower 42 and the Swiss Re building, as well as the high rise 51 Lime Street, currently under construction.

Facts

This tower will contain more solar panelling than any other building in the UK, with 1900 square metres of generation.

It will have a double layered skin like 30 St Mary Axe that allows it to respond dynamically to climatic changes and utilise effective climate control with low energy consumption.

To drive costs down, every single panel on the tower will be of the exact same size.

Once completed, it will contain 88,000 square metres of office space.
