70 St Mary Axe, informally known as the Can of Ham due to its shape,[10] is an office building in the City of London. It was completed in early 2019.[2] With 21 floors above ground, it is 90 metres (295 ft) tall and offers 28,000 square metres (301,400 sq ft) of office space.[3] During its construction, the City of London Corporation decided to pedestrianise the part of St Mary Axe along which the building sits, between Bevis Marks to the south-west and Houndsditch to the north-east.[11][12]
