The Citigroup Centre is a large office complex in London, United Kingdom. It is home to the main offices of Citigroup for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. This important building is located in Canary Wharf, a modern business area in London's old Docklands.
The Citigroup Centre has two main buildings: 33 Canada Square and 25 Canada Square. Together, they offer a huge amount of office space, about 170,000 square meters. Most of Citigroup's employees in the UK work here. In 2023, the two buildings were separated. This happened before 25 Canada Square had a big update.
