List of tallest buildings in the United Kingdom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As of April 2026, there are 183 habitable buildings (used for living or working, as opposed to masts or religious structures) in the United Kingdom that are at least 100 metres (330 ft) tall.^[1] Of these, 132 are in London, 28 in Greater Manchester, 12 in Birmingham, four in Leeds, two each in Liverpool and Woking, and one each in Brighton and Hove, Sheffield and Swansea (the only such building outside England).

The Shard in Southwark, London, is currently the tallest completed building in the UK and was the tallest in the European Union until the UK's departure in January 2020. It was topped out at a height of 309.6 m (1,016 ft) in March 2012, inaugurated in July 2012, and opened to the public in February 2013.

Historically, the nation's tallest structures were typically cathedrals, church spires, and industrial chimneys. Lincoln Cathedral held the title of the tallest building in the UK (and indeed the world) for several centuries. Completed in 1311, its central spire reached 160 metres (520 ft), but it collapsed in 1549 and was not rebuilt. At 111 metres (364 ft), St Paul's Cathedral was the tallest building in London from 1710. High-rise development in the capital was restricted if it obstructed protected views of the cathedral or other historic buildings.^[2] This protective policy, known as 'St Paul's Heights', has been in operation since 1937.^[3] St Paul's was eventually surpassed by the 119-metre (390 ft) Millbank Tower in 1963.

Since the turn of the 21st century, the number of high-rise buildings in London has grown significantly. The UK's tallest office buildings are all located in the City of London and the capital's secondary business district of Canary Wharf. The five tallest are 22 Bishopsgate at 278 m (912 ft), One Canada Square at 235 m (771 ft), Heron Tower at 110 Bishopsgate at 230 m (750 ft), 122 Leadenhall Street at 225 m (738 ft), and 8 Bishopsgate at 204 m (669 ft). The five tallest residential buildings in the UK are also in London: Landmark Pinnacle at 233 m (764 ft), Newfoundland at 220 m (720 ft), Aspen Tower at 216 m (709 ft), Valiant Tower at 215 m (705 ft), and One Park Drive at 205 m (673 ft).

Manchester, Birmingham and Salford are the only other UK cities with skyscrapers taller than 150 m (490 ft).^[4]

As of April 2026, there are 36 habitable buildings at least 100 m (330 ft) tall under construction in the UK: 22 in London, seven in Greater Manchester, four in Birmingham, and one each in Leeds, Glasgow and Sheffield.

Tallest existing buildings

This list includes topped-out and completed buildings in the UK that stand at least 100 metres (330 ft) tall. Architectural height is considered, so masts and other elements added after the completion of the building are not considered.
