One Churchill Place

London Borough of Tower Hamlets, United Kingdom

The 727th tallest building in the world

156.3 m · 513 ft

One Churchill Place is a 156-metre-tall (512 ft), 32-storey skyscraper in Canary Wharf and is located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, serving as the headquarters of Barclays Bank. The building is the 13th-tallest office block in the United Kingdom and the sixth tallest building in the Docklands. The building was formally opened in June 2005 by the Chairman of Barclays, Matthew Barrett, and merged Barclays offices across London into one building. The former corporate HQ was at 54 Lombard Street in the City of London. Barclays occupies 100% of the building; floors 18–20 were previously leased to BGC Partners/Cantor Fitzgerald. Several floors were previously occupied by the Olympic Delivery Teams prior to 2012, and a portion of level 17 was occupied by the Metropolitan Police. In June 2026, Barclays acquired a 999-year leasehold interest in One Churchill Place from Canary Wharf Group for £750 million. The acquisition gave the bank long-term control of the building and was described as a sign of its continued commitment to Canary Wharf.
