London - Speed lift to the top of Leadenhall Building (The Cheesegrater)
122 Leadenhall Street is an address in Leadenhall Street in London where the 225 m (737 ft) tall Leadenhall Building is located. This commercial skyscraper, opened in July 2014, was designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and is known informally as The Cheesegrater because of its distinctive wedge shape.[3] It is one of a number of tall buildings recently completed or under construction in the City of London financial district, including 20 Fenchurch Street, The Pinnacle, and The Scalpel.
The site is adjacent to the Lloyd's Building, also designed by Rogers, which is the current home of the insurance market Lloyd's of London.[3] Until 2007 the Leadenhall site was occupied by a building owned by British Land and designed by Gollins Melvin Ward Partnership, which was constructed in the 1960s. That building was demolished in preparation for redevelopment of the site. By December 2009, the site was cleared but construction had stalled. The project, initially delayed due to the financial crisis, was revived in October 2010 and Oxford Properties has co-developed the property in partnership with British Land.[4]
In May 2013, the co-developers announced that the building was over 51% pre-let.
The Story Of...Cheese Trailer
An enormous variety of cheeses are made in virtually every country on earth. The quality of cheese depends on how it is made. Which are the cheeses every cheese lover should seek out and try? And why do they taste so good? The story and history of cheese…
In this informative and entertaining episode, Rosie Lovell, together with fellow culinary travellers from around the world, venture on a voyage to discover the phenomena behind the making of and popularity of cheese.
Rosie begins her journey in the small town of Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire (England), which once a year, hosts a Cheese Makers Market where members of the public and professionals alike can see, taste and buy some of the wonderful cheeses produced throughout Europe and the United Kingdom. She meets organizer Frenchman Eric Charriaux who explains about the origins of the market with emphases on how British cheese producers are on the increase.
Rosie visits a farm in the Cotswolds and meets cheese maker Roger Crudges who shows her how cheese is made; preparing the milk – coagulation or curdling – separation of curds and whey – shaping and salting – ripening and maturing.
Cheese-Makers-Market-by-Andre-Dang-La-Cave-Fromage-in-Notting-Hill-LondonFrom there Rosie heads to the oldest cheese mongers in London and meets Juliet Hurbutt, a leading authority on cheese. After briefly explaining the origins of cheese, Juliet and Rosie do some tastings of different types of cheeses that are popular nowadays: fresh cheese, aged fresh cheese, soft white cheese, semi-soft cheese, blue cheese and flavor added cheese.
There is no doubt that France produces many of the world’s finest cheeses. The French have a great respect for the identity and diversity of each of their regions. Justin Shapiro visits a small town in Northern France to find out what exactly makes their cheese so special. Here she discovers the differences in cheese made from pasteurized milk and raw milk. Christina Chang then heads to the South of France to the town of Roquefort famously known to those who love their cheese.
She discovers cheese is stored in aged old caves to mature; giving it it’s unique texture and flavour. Back at the Cheese Makers Market, Rosie samples some French cheeses with Eric who also introduces her to some exceptional Italian cheeses like Parmigano-Reggiano.
Parmigiano-Reggiano-by--Claudio-Cicali-Creative-CommonsWhile French cheeses are best served preceding a meal, Italian cheeses are often woven into the fabric of the meal itself – breakfast, lunch, and dinner. To find out about Italy’s king of cheeses, Parmigano Reggiano, Megan McCormick visits the medieval town of Parma in the heart of northern Italy. Bobby Chinn heads to Sicily to discover what makes Ricotta different to other fresh cheeses and learns how to make a Ricotta based dessert dish, Cassata.
Elsewhere in Europe, Brianna Barnes goes to the historic town of Alkmaar, in the Netherlands, to see a Cheese Market functioning as it did hundreds of years ago. Cheese was traded on Waagplein Square as early as 1365.
And another great destination for cheese is Switzerland. The country’s high mountains and temperate climate create ideal condition to make cheese as Brianna finds out in the small town of Gruyere.
Back in England, after some Swiss cheese tasting with Eric, Rosie ventures to a cheese restaurant in London’s Leadenhall and finds out that, although cheese is fantastic on its own, when combined with other foods, it tastes even better!
Rosie meets Sue Cloke who goes through some of the classics in cheese pairing; the Caprese Salad – a classic combination of mozzarella, tomato and basil; Spanish Manchego with Quince Jelly.
The sheep cheese from the land of Don Quixote, the region of Castilla La Mancha; and Chutney and cheddar cheese, a quintessentially British combination, and Raclette – a Swiss speciality that comes from the French word ‘racler’, which means to scrap. It was the favourite of herders and shepherds for centuries.
Our explanation of the Story of Cheese continues as Angela May heads to a local dairy just outside Athens, in Greece, to discover the magic of Feta. Then Merilees Parker makes a visit to a monastery in Lebanon to see how they make Halloumi. And Bobby Chinn is in a market in Istanbul discovering local Turkish cheeses. Bobby tastes a unique cheese produced in the stomach of an animal, a traditional method of cheese making which dates back to ancient times.
Back in London, Rosie visits the famous French cheese mongers, the House of Androuet, which was established in Paris in 1909. Their restaurant menu features cheeses they sell in the shop. Rosie finds out the secret behind the French way of enjoying the perfect cheese board.
Our show finishes with Rosie making a dish that is loved all over the world, a vanilla cheesecake.

ᴴᴰ [Documentary] Building the Future
Commonly known as “the cheese grater” the Leadenhall Building is the pinnacle of London’s avant-garde architecture. Designed as a tapered tower with a steel exoskeleton, it’s the tallest skyscraper in the City of London and the most innovative. The teams behind the Leadenhall project had to radically rethink every aspect of the traditional building model. This program follows the monumental challenges that come with erecting this super skyscraper: it will be constructed off-site, delivered to location, and stacked and bolted together like a giant Lego set.

30 St Mary Axe (informally known as The Gherkin and previously as the Swiss Re Building) is a commercial skyscraper in London's primary financial district, the City of London. It was completed in December 2003 and opened in April 2004.[4] With 41 storeys, it is 180 metres (591 ft) tall[3] and stands on the former sites of the Baltic Exchange and Chamber of Shipping, which were extensively damaged in 1992 by the explosion of a bomb placed by the Provisional IRA in St Mary Axe, the street from which the tower takes its name.
After plans to build the 92-storey Millennium Tower were dropped, 30 St Mary Axe was designed by Norman Foster and Arup Group[10] and it was erected by Skanska, with construction commencing in 2001.
The building has become a recognisable feature of London and is one of the city's most widely recognised examples of contemporary architecture.
History :
The building stands on the former sites of the Baltic Exchange (24-28 St Mary Axe), the headquarters of a global marketplace for ship sales and shipping information, and the Chamber of Shipping (30-32 St Mary Axe). On 10 April 1992 the Provisional IRA detonated a bomb close to the Exchange, causing extensive damage to the historic building and neighbouring structures.
The United Kingdom government's statutory adviser on the historic environment, English Heritage, and the City of London's governing body, the City of London Corporation, were keen that any redevelopment must restore the Baltic Exchange's old façade onto St Mary Axe. The Exchange Hall was a celebrated fixture of the ship trading market.
After English Heritage later discovered the damage was far more severe than initially thought, they stopped insisting on full restoration, albeit over the objections of the architectural conservationists who favoured reconstruction.[13] The Baltic Exchange and the Chamber of Shipping sold the land to Trafalgar House in 1995. Most of the remaining structures on Baltic Exchange site were then carefully dismantled, the interior of Exchange Hall and the façade were preserved, hoping for a reconstruction of the building in the future.[14] The salvaged material was eventually sold for £800,000 and moved to Tallinn, Estonia, where it awaits reconstruction as the centrepiece of the city's commercial sector.
In 1996, Trafalgar House submitted plans for the Millennium Tower, a 386-metre (1,266 ft) building with more than 140,000 m2 (1,500,000 sq ft) of office space, apartments, shops, restaurants and gardens. This plan was dropped after objections for being totally out-of-scale with the City of London and anticipated disruption to flight paths for both London City and London Heathrow airports; the revised plan for a lower tower was accepted.
The tower's topmost panoramic dome, known as the lens, recalls the iconic glass dome that covered part of the ground floor of the Baltic Exchange and much of which is now displayed at the National Maritime Museum.
The Gherkin nickname was applied to the current building at least as long ago as 1999, referring to that plan's highly unorthodox layout and appearance.

“The Leadenhall Building” by Photographer Paul Raftery and Film Maker Dan Lowe, which follows on from the successful “Making The Leadenhall” released in 2013, completes the story of the construction of the building by taking the viewer inside to discover the interiors and panoramic views.
Shot over two years from different vantage points and through varying seasons and times of day, the timelapse film uses more than 320,000 images shot on DSLR cameras with a range of lenses (including tilt and shift, telephoto and extreme wide angle) to beautifully showcase the building and its impact on the London skyline.
