125 London Wall is composed of two distinct towers, set at 90 degree angles to each other. One crosses over London Wall, the modern thoroughfare running along the perimeter of the Roman City of London wall.
Alban Gate replaced Lee House, a 65.2m (214ft) office tower built during the 1960s redevelopment of London Wall.
Alban Gate was so-named in recognition of the tower of Sir Christopher Wren's Church of St. Alban on Wood Street.
