Commercial buildings

NOTES: The National Westminster Bank (NatWest) Tower in Old Broad Street, was designed by R. Siefert & Partners. Completed in 1981, it remained the tallest building in the City of London until the erection of the nearby Heron Tower in 2009. Badly damaged in the Bishopsgate bombing of 1993, the tower was subsequently entirely reclad and refurbished internally and renamed Tower 42. The Lloyd's building, Lime Street, was designed by Richard Rogers Partnership and completed in 1986.

NOTES: The Waagehaus (the old weigh-house) was constructed in 1534 as a weighing and storage house. From 1854-1862 the structure, which had become neglected and dilapidated, was restored by Friedrich Krahe. During this restoration, far-reaching changes were made to the facade, which were largely reversed in 1937-1939. The building was destroyed by bombing during the night of October 14th-15th, 1944, along with the entire New City. It was rebuilt down to the last detail in 1994 and was subsequently used by the Volkshochschule.

NOTES: The Grossmunster towers were added in 1492 and the domes in 1787. The Munsterbrucke bridge and the Helmhaus are by Bluntschli and were completed in 1794.
