25 Bank Street is an office tower in Canary Wharf in London, built by Canary Wharf Group. Cesar Pelli & Associates designed it, with Adamson Associates and Swanke Hayden Connell. Construction ran from 2001 to 2002, and the tower opened on 5 April 2004. It rises 502 feet (153 meters) and has 33 numbered floors, with no thirteenth floor, plus five basement levels.
The style is International, with cladding of stainless steel, glass and stone. Its features include a central concrete core, trading floors, a 400-seat auditorium and a large data center. More than 5,000 LED fixtures light its crown.
Lehman Brothers used it as its European headquarters from 2004 until the firm collapsed in September 2008. JPMorgan Chase bought it in 2010 for 495 million pounds, and it is now the bank's European investment banking headquarters.
