The Leadenhall Building End of Journey Experience
City of London, London, United Kingdom
dMFK Architects has completed a new suite of end-of-journey facilities beneath the London landmark affectionately known as the Cheesegrater, delivered as part of its role as Design Guardian for The Leadenhall Building.
The Leadenhall Building was completed in 2014 – a very different era in terms of how people commute to work. As active travel has become central to everyday life in the City, an opportunity arose to reimagine the Cheesegrater’s end-of-journey facilities for its approximately 6,500 occupants.
Working with client C C Land, the project reimagines 2,046 sqm of basement-level accommodation to create a best-in-class end-of-journey offering, transforming a series of previously back-of-house spaces into a calm, carefully choreographed arrival experience that unfolds gently beneath the energy of the City.
Joanna Ball, Associate Director at dMFK said:
“The brief was to significantly enhance the experience of arriving at work, without losing sight of the operational demands of a busy, live building. By focusing on the user journey from arrival to departure, we were able to shape a series of spaces that feel intuitive, calm and quietly generous - supporting everyday routines while elevating the overall experience of the tower.”
The architectural concept is guided by a principle of gradual calming. The journey begins in the bike store, where darker ceilings and vibrant, directional lighting bring clarity and legibility, before transitioning into the warmer, more grounded atmosphere of the locker rooms. As spaces become more private, they grow increasingly tranquil.
In the showers and WCs, the architecture softens further. Lighter timber, diffused wall lighting and rich, tactile finishes create intimate, spa-like spaces that offer a moment of calm before the working day. Throughout, the design prioritises comfort, ease of use and longevity, elevating the everyday commute while enhancing the wider tenant experience within the tower.
Justin Black, Head of UK Development at C C Land, said:
“Upgrading the end-of-journey facilities was an important part of evolving The Leadenhall Building’s unique offer for our customers. Working with dMFK as Design Guardians, the project delivers a high-quality, thoughtfully considered environment that supports active travel and enhances the everyday experience of this iconic building.”
Delivered seamlessly within a live, operational and globally recognised building, the project reflects dMFK’s considered approach to working within complex, high-profile environments - balancing functional performance with material quality and atmosphere.
The scheme comprises a 560 sqm cycle store accommodating 445 bicycles, including 51 E-bike spaces and two repair stations, alongside dedicated locker, shower and parking facilities. Additional amenities include enlarged, bespoke lockers, a drying room with vented storage, refreshment points, and integrated concierge, laundry and towel services.
