The United States Capitol, often called The Capitol or the Capitol Building, is the meeting place of the United States Congress and the seat of the legislative branch of the U.S. federal government. It is located on Capitol Hill at the eastern end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Though no longer at the geographic center of the federal district, the Capitol forms the origin point for the district's street-numbering system and the district's four quadrants. The original building was completed in 1800. It was partly destroyed in the 1814 burning of Washington, then was fully restored within five years.

It stands 230 metres (755 feet ) tall including its 28-metre (92 ft) mast which makes it the tallest building in the City of London financial district and the third tallest in Greater London and the United Kingdom, after the Shard in Southwark and One Canada Square at Canary Wharf. 110 Bishopsgate is located on Bishopsgate and is headquartered in Camomile Street, Outwich Street and Houndsditch. Construction of the building started in 2007 and has been completed in 2011. It's owned by Heron International and is still popularly known as Heron Tower, though following a naming dispute in 2014 involving the tenant Salesforce.com that the City of London planning committee made it clear they would rule in favour of the property being officially named 110 Bishopsgate, even though the application was withdrawn before it went to committee. The tower originally struggled to attract tenants at the depths of the Great Recession, but is now fully let.
