It looks like a machine, and it functions as a cathedral of commerce. The Lloyds of London building is the undisputed masterpiece of the High-Tech architectural movement. Designed by the legendary Richard Rogers and completed in 1986, it shocked the world by placing its "guts"—the elevators, water pipes, and staircases—on the outside, leaving the interior open and flexible.
Often called the "Inside-Out Building," its stainless steel elevators (the first of their kind in the UK) and revolutionary aesthetic make it one of the most photographed landmarks in the City of London. Whether you love it for its radical engineering, its cinematic "sci-fi" appearance, or its status as a Grade I listed treasure, this collection celebrates the boldest 20th Century building in the City of London.
