View of 20 Gracechurch Street, City of London,
20 Gracechurch Street is located in the heart of the city and is strategically positioned at the crossroads of the financial and insurance districts. The dramatic, secure, light filled, double height entrance on Gracechurch Street provides direct access to a second reception at George Yard. George Yard, a discreet drop off area, is accessed off Lombard Street and offers a landscape courtyard with tranquil seating areas. The area benefits from a very strong retail and leisure offering with The Royal Exchange for luxury goods, Leadenhall Market for fashion, eating and drinking and Gracechurch Street for well-known high street brands. Major office occupiers in the vicinity include XL Group, Alianz, Caitlin, UBS, RSA Group, Aviva, Swiss Re, Rothschild, Nationwide and Royal London. Transport communications are excellent with Bank Station within 250 metres of the building. 20 Gracechurch Street is also near Cannon Street, Fenchurch Street and Liverpool Street mainline stations, the latter of which will provide access to Crossrail, Europe’s largest new transport infrastructure due for completion in 2018. 20 Gracechurch Street is situated on an island site in the heart of the City at the intersection of Lombard Street and Gracechurch Street. The building, which is one of the City of London's most prominent towers, is situated in the prime City core area, close to the Bank of England and Lloyds of London.
