Here is the building 1 Finsbury Circus, called “Britannia House”:
“Fronting the northwest quadrant of the oval, with fronts on roads entering the Circus from the west stands Edwin Lutyens’s massive Britannic House (1921–25, listed Grade II), designed for the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, which became BP; its free-standing architectural sculptures are by Francis Derwent Wood. It was built on the site of the last remaining original houses, and is now home to international law firm Stephenson Harwood.” (Wikipedia)
Behind it, buildings under construction on Bishopsgate, and the Gherkin on the right.
I enjoyed the contrast between the careful detail on the Lutyens building (1920s), and the more brutal façades of the 21st century buildings. The totally functional windows of the temporary construction buildings are in front.
The black thing on the left is some sort of storage tank.

About 1 hour.
Here is another drawing of the Crossrail site I did a while back, showing the bridge across New Union Street:
This bridge is due to be removed:
