WHYTHE LEADENHALL BUILDING IS THE CHEESEGRATER

摘要

The Leadenhall Building is located in the tall building cluster close to Swiss Re, Tower 42 and the Heron Tower. The location doesn't impact on the strategic view of St Paul's but affected a locally important view: the processional route down Fleet Street past St Paul's. The City of London planning officer Peter Rees made it clear the new building should not affect the view of St Paul's from the Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub on Fleet Street. "Peter Rees said, we do not want to see it from here," says RSHP senior director Graham Stirk. "If we had built vertically, it would have impacted on the view of St Paul's."
