Plans for 130 Fenchurch Street could see that the new skyscraper is constructed by 2030.
Plans to develop London's incredible city skyline are constantly evolving. Developers recently announced plans to create One Undershaft, a building set to rival The Shard as the tallest building in the capital. There's also 55 Bishopsgate in the works, which will also be one of the tallest buildings in Europe, and 1 Leadenhall which is set to be completed later this year.
You might think the city needs to take a chill pill when it comes to planning more large buildings, but there's no sign of it slowing down. Plans for a brand-new 31-storey building have recently been revealed, and it might be the best yet. Here's everything you need to know about 130 Fenchurch Street.

What Is 130 Fenchurch Street?
Currently sitting at 130 Fenchurch Street is Fountain House, which was built between 1954 and 1958, meaning it was one of the first tall buildings to be built after the Blitz. Plans have been put forward to make way for the new skyscraper.
The brand-new building, put forward by Aviva Investors and developers CO-RE, is set to be 31 storeys tall. Other features will include:
- 600 square metres of public space
- Food and drink outlets
- Retail outlets
- A pedestrian connection between Callum Street and Fen Court
- A garden terrace - the fourth highest in London
- An indoor cultural space
When Will 130 Fenchurch Street Be Complete?
If planning permissions are accepted by the City of London Corporation, then the demolishment of Fountain House will begin in 2026. Following this, construction on 130 Fenchurch Street is set to be complete by 2030.
Where Is 130 Fenchurch Street?
Luckily, the new building is named after its address - so it's an easy one to remember.
