Architect Owen Campbell-Jones. Built in 1958. RIBA hasa good picture of the Hutton panels in situ and provides: "At 15 storeys, Bucklersbury House was the first tall slab to be built following the lifting of restrictions on buildings above 30 metres after the second world war. Demolition of this building and its sister building Temple Court began in 2010 to make way for the new development by Atelier Foster Nouvel to be known as Walbrook Square, or 3 Queen Victoria Street, or Bloomberg London (in 2023).
