8 Bishopsgate is a 51-storey, 204-metre (669 ft) tall commercial skyscraper located in the City of London financial district.
Barings Bank had been based at 8 Bishopsgate since 1806, the building undergoing several expansions and refurbishments up until it was replaced by a high-rise.
[4] The skyscraper was designed to be 'visually striking', incorporating high-quality warm building materials such as wood and marble to welcome visitors inside.
The building was constructed as part of a wave of high-rise development in the Bishopsgate area, caused by growing demand for office space in the City of London.
[6] The skyscraper opened in 2023,[7] and includes a free viewing platform, The Look Out, located on the 50th floor.
