THE BIG CHEESE: THE MAKING OF THE LEADENHALL BUILDING (Cheesegrater)
Designed by Richard Rogers and developed by British Land and Oxford Properties, the new Leadenhall Building will be 737ft tall with 48 floors when it is completed in 2014.
The planning application was submitted to the City of London Corporation in February 2004 and was approved in May 2005 but it did face face opposition.
The base will feature a 30m high atrium which will be open to the public.
Exterior glass lifts will be used on the building, similar to the neighbouring Lloyd's building designed by the same architect.

Work started on the Cheesegrater in September, 2011 and is expected to be finished in the summer of 2014.
