One Churchill Place is a 156-metre-tall (512 ft), 32-storey skyscraper in theDocklands area ofLondon Borough of Tower Hamlets inCanary Wharf, serving as the headquarters ofBarclays Bank. The building is the 13th-tallest office block in the United Kingdom and the sixth tallest building in the Docklands.

The building was formally opened in June 2005 by the Chairman of Barclays,Matthew Barrett, and merged Barclays offices across London into one building. The former corporate HQ was at 54Lombard Street in theCity of London.

Barclays occupies 100% of the building; floors 18–20 were previously leased toBGC Partners/Cantor Fitzgerald. Several floors were previously occupied by the Olympic Delivery Teams prior to 2012, and a portion of level 17 was occupied by theMetropolitan Police.

The building was designed byHOK International^[2] and constructed by Canary Wharf Contractors.^[3]

Designed after the9/11 terrorist attacks, the building is constructed around four staircase columns with a large, central column containing the lifts and toilet facilities. The building manual states that there is enough room in these columns to contain everyone who works in the building, in the event of a security alert.

The building was planned to be 50 storeys in height, but was scaled down to 31 after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

It is linked by walkways to theCanada Square shopping mall andCanary Wharf Underground station.
