The NatWest tower is certainly not a gem itself, definitely seems dated. Although I can see how 22 Bishopgate can be very dominating next to any other skyscraper.
Frankly its a refreshing change to walk past an office lobby that actually catches your attention, sure it's bright and not the chicest in parts but it is different and the wood & leather work inside is fantastic. I see this becoming more popular in future developments as projects try more and more to be less 'officey'.
