HSBC to Abandon Skyscraper Headquarters in Move to Central London

  • HSBC will leave its 45-story tower in Canary Wharf, one of the city’s main financial districts.
  • HSBC plans to downsize its space and embrace more flexible working arrangements in a new office, the former BT headquarters.
  • The bank's new headquarters will be about half the size of its current office and offer amenities to support wellbeing and sustainability goals.
  • The move is part of a broader trend of companies reducing office space due to increased remote work and high rents.
  • Other major banks have also announced plans to cut down on expensive office space and provide staff more flexibility.
