WHY THE LEADENHALL BUILDING IS THE CHEESEGRATER The Leadenhall Building is located in the tall building cluster close to Swiss Re, Tower 42 and the Heron Tower.

I think it may have stood on the site of the met Police buildings Eagle. I'm not sure if it was taken down in the 70's or earlier now. I did see that image in a local history book once but haven't been able to track it down.
