Plans unveiled for London's tallest tower

2 hours Aroland, Stanhope and Eric Parry Architects have unveiled plans for One London, formerly 1 Undershaft, the £1bn project that aims to be London's tallest skyscraper.

Aroland Holdings advised by Perennial Holdings, Stanhope and Eric Parry Architects have introduced plans for One London, set to become the City of London's tallest tower, as well as the tallest office space and joint-tallest building in Western Europe on completion in 2033.

Rising to 309.6 metres with 1.2 million sq ft of office-led space at the heart of the City, the £1bn scheme will deliver a skyscraper that the developers say will be one of the capital's defining buildings of the next decade.

Achieving full planning consent from the City of London Corporation in December 2025, the scheme sits at the junction of Leadenhall Street and St Mary Axe, within a six-minute walk of six Underground lines, the Elizabeth line, around 1,000 hospitality venues and 27 acres of public open space. Deconstruction of the existing building, St Helen’s Tower, is already underway, with a main contractor appointment expected later this year. ÂÜÀòÔ­´´ is planned to start in 2028 after the completion of deconstruction and enabling works and securing development financing.
