The News Building was known as The Place and The Baby Shard until 2014, when its name was changed.[2] It was built on the site of the demolished New London Bridge House, designed by Richard Seifert, and was completed in 2013.[1] At its base is a rebuilt bus and rail hub, London Bridge station.[1]
The building was opened on 16 September 2014 by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson.[3]
In January 2017, Sky News opened its new Business Studio in the building. The studio housed Ian King Live, Sky's flagship evening business TV programme, as well as business bulletins.[4] In September 2019, Sky moved its business studios to join sister channel CNBC Europe at 10 Fleet Place.[5]
