 Other Information
- The building is cantilevered to allow it to be built over other buildings just as Richard Seifert did with his later design, Tower 42.
- Although scheduled for redevelopment, Drapers Garden was considered by many to be a fine example of the period, and was also the centre of a campaign to be listed and protected by English Heritage which ultimately failed.
- As of its demolition in 2007 Drapers Gardens was the joint tallest building ever demolished in the U.K.
