Leadenhall Street is at the heart of London’s financial district, closely associated with the insurance industry, in particular the Lloyd’s insurance market, with its dramatic building in the adjacent Lime Street. Leadenhall Street is only one third of a mile-long (0.54 km) and has always been a centre of commerce in the city. It connected the medieval market of Leaden Hall with Aldgate, the eastern gate in the Roman city wall.

The 48-storey “Cheesegrater” or 122 Leadenhall Street is also known as the Leadenhall Building. This building is a 225-metre-tall (738 ft). known as the Cheesegrater, simply because of its distinctive kitchen utensil, wedge shape profile. Then there is the 38-storey “Scalpel” which is located at 52 Lime Street, an adjacent street connecting to Fenchurch Street to the south. Originally The Scalpel was a nickname but subsequently designated as its official name by the Financial Times, due to its distinctive angular design. The Scalpel at is 190 m (620 ft) tall, with 38 storeys, stands opposite Lloyd’s building and adjacent to the Willis Building.
8 Bishopsgate tower, a 51-storey office block, already dubbed “Prussian Blue” is situated on the corner of Bishopsgate and Leadenhall Street, with its neighbours; 122 Leadenhall Street (The Cheesegrater) and 22 Bishopsgate (The Pinnacle). These two taller skyscrapers are constructed as part of a recent wave of high-rise development in the Bishopsgate area, caused by growing demand for office space in the City of London.
Other buildings planned for the Leadenhall street include the 57-storey “Diamond”, at 100 Leadenhall. The wedge-shaped building will have a façade of elongated diamond shapes.

The 34-storey “Gotham City” building or 40 Leadenhall Street, also known as Stanza London is an office-led development currently under construction.
Leadenhall Street historic buildings
Older buildings, like the medieval church of St. Katherine Cree, seem incongruous among these towers, but the medieval heritage is preserved in the narrow slightly curving Leadenhall street and dense commercial activity. The East India Company had its headquarters in Leadenhall Street, as later did the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O). By the mid 20th century, grand stone-faced offices lined the street.
The historic Leadenhall Market is a covered market building, actually located on Gracechurch Street and is one of the oldest markets in London, dating from the 14th century. The market primarily sells fresh food, i.e. cheesemongers, butchers and florists. Originally a meat, game and poultry market, it stands on what was the centre of Roman London. The ornate roof structure, painted green, maroon and cream, and cobbled floors of the current structure, designed in 1881 by Sir Horace Jones (who was also the architect of Billingsgate and Smithfield Markets), make Leadenhall Market a tourist attraction today.
