About the project
The former Lloyds Bank and Guardian Assurance Company office building at 68 King William Street dominates the view into the City of London from London Bridge. The refurbishment of this 10-storey, 1920s steel-framed building into a mixed-use office and retail scheme posed many of the classic difficulties associated with urban regeneration projects of this type in the City of London. |

"This bold conversion project demonstrates the resilience, adaptability and long-term value of a steelwork structure. We were able to retain more than 400 tonnes of existing steelwork at zero cost to the environment. Our client fully appreciated both the need for and the value of our on-site presence."
