Tower project would replace post-war livery hall

A 36-storey office building with a living green wall running all the way up it has been drawn up by 1 Undershaft architect, Eric Parry. 

The scheme at 50 Fenchurch Street, opposite Parry’s 120 Fenchurch Street and a couple of blocks from the delayed Undershaft project, is the proposed new home of 500-year-old City livery company, the Clothworkers’ Company.

The 150m tall project would involve the demolition of the existing 1950s livery hall, designed by Herbert Austen Hall and refurbished by Donald Insall in the 1980s.
