What's The Tallest Building In Your Borough?

What's the tallest building or structure in your borough? We've crunched the numbers.

If you live in Southwark, you can probably guess at the tallest structure in your borough (the Shard). But what of the others?

Here, we break down the tallest building in all 33 local authorities (32 boroughs plus the City of London) as of June 2026. This is an update on previous versions of this article published in 2017, 2022 and 2024. The tallest buildings in 18 boroughs have changed since we first compiled the list.
