99 Bishopsgate is a skyscraper in the City of London. It is 104 metres tall and has 26 floors. It was completed in 1976. It was the London headquarters of Hongkong Bank until it was bombed by the IRA in 1993 together with neighbouring Tower 42. It was refurbished for 14 months and re-opened in 1995 as a multi-let office building.
When it was built it had the fastest lifts (elevators) in Europe.
