Overview

The Tulip is a proposed development of a 305.3-metre tall visitor attraction next to The Gherkin on the land adjacent to 20 Bury Street in the City of London EC3.

Foster + Partners have been commissioned by Bury Street Properties (Luxembourg) S.A.R.L to design a purpose-built, visitor attraction/viewing gallery, incorporating a state of the art educational facility, that will complement and enhance the Gherkin and give visitors the opportunity to enjoy a curated entertainment experience in a unique setting.

The proposed development consists of the Tulip, the pavilion building and basement levels connecting both. The Tulip base extends above ground with a concrete core, the “stem”, which will extend up surpassing the height of the Gherkin. The upper part of the Tulip’s massing, the “top”, consists of 12 floors.

Floors 1 to 12 of the top include:
- Sky bar;
- Restaurant space;
- A free Education facility;
- Sky bridge / viewing gallery; and
- Plant room / back of house.
