Yeah, I never realized how the elevators are in that double horseshoe configuration before.

This was one of my favourite buildings of the current wave of London skyscrapers when I first heard about it years ago. Glad to hear it's back on track.

The white panels going down as flooring were all stacked on the back of a lorry in Leadenhall Street yesterday lunchtime.

Taken as usual from a Lloyd's lift. If anyone passing by has been wondering why the Lloyd's building is itself gradually disappearing behind scaffolding, it's apparently for new windows.

Aon to relocate HQ to London

Aon is to become the first ever US S&P 500 company to become domiciled in the UK after the insurance broker unveiled plans to shift its headquarters from Chicago to London.

The move by Aon – which employs 59,000 people globally and has a market capitalisation of $15bn – gives a boost to London’s status as a global financial centre. HSBC is among the UK-based institutions to signal it might move its headquarters overseas given the costs of regulation.

Aon employs 5,000 people in the UK and plans to lease several floors of the Leadenhall Building development, nicknamed the “Cheesegrater”, currently under construction in the City.

Mark Hoban, financial secretary to the Treasury, said Aon’s decision was “a strong endorsement of London and the UK”.

S&P Indices said: “As far as we can determine, there has never been another UK domiciled company in the S&P 500.”

London's construction sites are to fucking sexy for their own good. and this one is probably one of the unorganized ones.

anyways, i can't believe the cheese grater is finally going up! i perceived some negativeness to the shape (maybe it's just me) but i always loved this building.
