London City Hall

Home To The Mayor Of London

 

The picture below is the London City Hall also known as Fosters Nutsack.  This serves as the Mayor Of London's office and he wanted it all glass to symbolize the transparency of the London Government.  The London City Hall was also designed for energy efficiency and has been compared to Darth Vader's helmet.  The building was designed to minimize surface area to reduce both solar heat gain and loss to allow the London City Hall to operate on 25% less energy than a typical office building.  Ground water is used to cool the building and unlike many office buildings, all windows in offices are able to be opened to allow fresh air into the building.    The Greater London Authority leases London City Hall  and is currently in a 25 year lease.
