Location
The Heron is located at the very centre of a world-class City
There is no doubt that we are well-placed. We are within the dynamic business centre of the City of London which prides itself as being among the leading world financial centres with New York and Singapore. We share our building with the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, an internationally acknowledged arts university. We are just a few steps form the barbican Arts centre, a guiding light in the arts world. With our friends at the Barbican residential estate, we are a powerful voice that protects the neighbourhood as a high quality residential enclave.
The neighbourhood is changing. We strive to make change positive.
