In the heart of the City of London, the medieval Tower of All Hallows Staining is now propped up on stilts as work continues beneath it on the 36-storey Fifty Fenchurch development.

First built in 1320, the tower is all that remains of a church that was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The Grade I listed structure is being preserved and integrated into the project.

A striking example of how the city’s ever-evolving skyline makes space for its history.
