:''This article is about the Citi Centre in London. See also Citi Center of New York and Citi Centre of Sydney.''
'Citi Centre' is the EMEA[1] headquarters of financial services firm Citi, located in Canary Wharf in London's Docklands. The centre provides for 170,000m² of floor space across two merged buildings - '33 Canada Square' (known as "CGC1") and '25 Canada Square' (known as "CGC2"), and houses the bulk of Citi's UK employee base.
CGC1 is the smaller of the two buildings, designed by Norman Foster and completed in 1999, two years before its neighbour. At 105 metres tall, the building is made up of eighteen floors, all of which are adjoined to their equivalent floors in CGC2.[2] In contrast, CGC2 - built in tandem with HSBC Tower - stands at 200 metres, meaning that upon reaching their full height, the pair became joint second tallest buildings in the United Kingdom (behind 1 Canada Square).[3] Designed by César Pelli & Associates, construction of the 45-storey tower began in 1998 and was completed in 2001.[4]
In addition to main entrances from both Canada Square and Upper Bank Street, Citigroup Centre is also accessible via underground walkways from Canada Place shopping mall and Canary Wharf London Underground station - served by the Jubilee Line. The Centre is also close to DLR stations Canary Wharf and Heron Quays, which provide connections with the City, London City Airport and surrounding areas.
