Lloyds of London. Tower 3.

The Lloyd's building is the home of the insurance institution Lloyd's of London, and is located at One Lime Street, in the City of London.

It was designed by architect Richard Rogers and built over eight years from 1978 to 1986. Like the Pompidou Centre (designed by Renzo Piano and Rogers), the building was innovative in having its services such as staircases, lifts, electrical power conduits and water pipes on the outside, leaving a clean uncluttered space inside. The 12 glass lifts were the first of their kind in the UK.
