From the Wikipedia article
81 Newgate Street (alternatively referred to as Panorama St Paul’s) is a 10-storey office building on Newgate Street in the City of London, opposite St Paul's tube station. It opened in its current state in June 1984. Prior to the departure of the BT Group in December 2021, it was best known as the BT Centre, having been the global headquarters and registered office of the group since its opening in its current state in 1984. It had been home to BT and its predecessors, including the General Post Office, for more than a century. HSBC, currently based at 8 Canada Square, will move into the building in early 2027, following the completion of redevelopment work being undertaken by Kohn Pedersen Fox.

Background
History
The building was designed for British Telecom by the Property Services Agency in a 'modern and forward-looking' style (though its Portland stone and granite facings recalled the Central Telegraph Office, which had previously stood on the site). The main entrance, on Newgate Street, was built on the alignment of Bath Street, which had been closed since 1934 and was completely covered by the new building. In 1997-99 the interior of the building was substantially updated, 'to make better use of space, conform to modern approaches to working, and exploit the latest telecommunications technology for more effective and fulfilling working'.
