Rogers vs Foster

It is arguable whether Richard Rogers or Norman Foster should be crowned the eminent architect of the City of London*.  Both have numerous projects completed there.  Here are just a few prominent examples ...

*Not to be confused with London, the City of London is a small area of London around which the metropolis has grown since time immemorial.  It is the financial district of the British capital city.

Lloyd's

The headquarters of Lloyd's of London in the heart of the City of London was designed by Richard Rogers.  To me, it is THE landmark of London!
