85 Gracechurch Street is an outstanding scheme literally shaped by the focus on being a culture-led development informed by the rich 2,000 year heritage of the site. The Cultural offer is uniquely three-dimensional, with a free to visit Roman Basilica and Forum public exhibition and education space below street level, a ground floor culturally curated new public civic hall and an elevated public viewing terrace. The integrated culture led placemaking destinations in the scheme will truly be culturally, socially, educationally, economically 7-day and public realm transformative and an exemplar of inclusive, culture-led placemaking, welcoming in all communities, backgrounds and ages
