47 Mark Lane, EC3

One of the most appealing aspects of the City is the way London's future and past co-exist in the same place. 47 Mark Lane is a high-profile address in the engine room of the UK and world economy. Yet the Tower of London is just around the corner and you can spend many a peaceful hour strolling along the riverside or exploring the surprising number of green spaces dotted throughout the wards of Eastcheap and St Dunstan's.

Above a row of retail units at ground level, 47 Mark Lane offers six floors of flexible office space, with panoramic views across the Thames. With its elevated Portland Stone gables and sheer glass façade, this makes for an eye-catching address just minutes from London Bridge and Liverpool Street, and enjoying easy access to Canary Wharf and City Airport.
