The Citigroup Centre is a skyscraper located in the Canary Wharf development in the London Docklands. The building, whose address is 25 Canada Square, serves as the British headquarters for Citigroup, a large bank based in the United States of America.
The tower was designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates. Construction began in 1998 and was completed in 2001. There are 45 floors in the 655 foot tall tower, the third largest in the United Kingdom. Standing alongside the Citigroup Centre are 1 Canada Square (known popularly as Canary Wharf); and the HSBC Tower, London, which houses the international headquarter of HSBC Holdings.
The nearest tube station is Canary Wharf, serving the Jubilee Line and Docklands Light Railway. A bus service runs to London City Airport. A shopping mall is at the base of the development.
