A medieval London church tower has been suspended 45 feet above ground in what has been described as a “never seen before feat of engineering”.
The tower of All Hallows Staining Church was balanced on stilts above a 60,000 square foot excavation site at 50 Fenchurch Street as part of a major City of London building project.
A “bottoming out” ceremony on Tuesday came after the removal of more than 125,000 tonnes of earth underneath the tower to make way for a 650,000 square foot office tower.

The development is due to be completed in 2028.
The new 36-storey tower will contain ground-floor shops, 62,000 square metres of office space and a public garden roof, as well as a 360-degree ‘public realm experience’.
