Number 1 Poultry, London Date: 1999 Architect: James Stirling Michael Wilford (JSMWAL completed as MWPL)
![]() photos © adrian welch Notorious development in that the demolition of the previous building on the site - a stone-built Victorian stoe, Mappin & Webb - was strongly disliked by many. Moreover, Lord Palumbo had plans to place a Mies van der Rohe tower here with a windswept plaza in front of it, not exactly in the grain of the historic City of London. In the end we got a flowery Postmodern design by Jim Stirling.

There's an obvious ship's prow metaphor and strong facade striation. Building in context - No 60 lies at the cross roads of Queen St and Queen Victoria St
