1 — 281 GRACECHURCH STREET
81-82 Gracechurch Street is located in the traditional core of the City of London, occupying a prominent position on the eastern side of Gracechurch Street.
The area continues to experience strong demand from a number of the world’s leading professional and banking services, and more recently technology and media companies. This demand is further supported by the vibrant mix of retail and leisure amenities, with Gracechurch Street being the location of choice for many leading retailers including Gap and Marks & Spencer.
The location is experiencing further significant growth and investment, with developments such as 22 Bishopsgate, 80 Fenchurch Street, 1 Leadenhall Street, and 150 Leadenhall Street amongst others due to complete over the next few years, reinforcing its position at the heart of the City of London.
LOCATION
The property is located in close proximity to the historic Leadenhall Market which dates back to the 14th Century and attracts significant footfall due to its lively and contemporary atmosphere.
Gracechurch Street is one of the City of London’s major thoroughfares linking London Bridge to Bishopsgate and is positioned close to the ‘Tower Cluster’, a collection of London’s most prominent towers including 20 Fenchurch Street (‘The Walkie Talkie’), The Leadenhall Building and 30 St Mary Axe (‘The Gherkin’).
Due to its proximity to the Bank of England and Lloyd’s of London, the sought after central location has traditionally attracted financial and insurance occupiers which today include Deutsche Bank, Rothschild & Co, Aon, AXA XL, Allianz, QBE and Willis Towers Watson.

CONNECTIVITY
Elizabeth Line (Crossrail)
81 - 82 Gracechurch Street is within a short walking distance (0.6 miles) of Liverpool Street Station which will act as the primary connection for Crossrail in the City of London.
Due for completion in Autumn 2019, the Elizabeth Line (Crossrail) will deliver a direct connection between all of London’s main employment centres, linking Heathrow with Paddington, the West End, the City and Canary Wharf. In peak times a train will run every two and a half minutes in each direction.
Two new ticket halls are being constructed at Liverpool Street and Moorgate and will be connected by underground platforms.
The railway will have an estimated 200 million travellers each year and is expected to reduce London journey times by up to 70%. The new network will support major regeneration across London and add an estimated £42bn to the UK economy.
81-82 Gracechurch Street is ideally located to benefit from London’s efficient and rapidly expanding public transport network.
