About

History

The Lloyd’s building is the third headquarters occupied by Lloyd’s on the site and was designed by architect Richard Rogers. Opened by HM Queen Elizabeth II in 1986, the building became a defining example of high-tech architecture, with its lifts, staircases and services located on the exterior to create flexible internal space. In 2011 it was awarded Grade I listed status, recognising its architectural significance. As the building marks its 40th anniversary in 2026, it remains one of London's most recognisable landmarks and the home of the Lloyd’s insurance market.
