One North Quay

One North Quay is set to be London's most powerfully connected campus.
Purpose built for innovation, the building is set amongst a connected community of ambitious businesses and talent.

CWG are presenting the opportunity to enter the construction site of One North Quay, offering a behind the scenes glimpse of what goes in to building a 570,000 sq ft skyscraper, as well as an unlikely setting for an art installation and performance piece.
