Since the turn of the Millennium, London\u2019s skyline<\/strong> has matured with new high-rise buildings that reflect its growth as a global financial hub. In addition, the City of London Corporation<\/strong> has been driving proposals to enliven the Square Mile by creating a Culture Mile with world-class tourist facilities.
\nThe proposal for a unique 305.3-metre-high<\/strong> visitor attraction reflects a desire to build public engagement within the City and enhance The Gherkin\u2019s public offering.
\nThe Tulip promises wide cultural and economic benefits with a diverse programme of events.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

A key feature will be the education facility within the top of The Tulip, offering 20,000 free places per year for London\u2019s state school children. This educational resource, provided by the J. Safra Group, will deliver national curriculum topics using innovative tools to bring to life the city\u2019s history and dynamism, inspiring the creative young minds of tomorrow.
\nThe viewing galleries will offer visitors an engaging experience with sky bridges<\/strong>, internal glass slides<\/strong> and gondola pod rides<\/strong> on the building\u2019s fa\u00e7ade that will appeal to people across all age groups. Visitors will benefit from interactive materials and briefings from expert guides about the history of London.
\nComplementing the experience will be a sky bar<\/strong> and restaurants with 360-degree views of the city.

Completed in 2004, 30 St Mary Axe, now popularly known as The Gherkin, made a positive contribution at ground level by breathing life into its surroundings. The Tulip seeks to extend the site\u2019s public realm further. A new pocket park is proposed alongside a two-storey pavilion offering a publicly accessible rooftop garden.
\nThe Tulip\u2019s soft bud-like form and minimal building footprint reflects its reduced resource use<\/strong>, with high performance glass<\/strong> and optimised building systems reducing its energy consumption. Heating and cooling is provided by zero combustion technology while integrated photovoltaic cells generate energy on site.
\nSubject to the planning approval process, construction on The Tulip could begin in 2020<\/strong> with completion projected for 2025<\/strong>.
