The most photogenic and instagrammable place. But remember no Uber can find it. We missed 4 cars and froze before fifth driver was smart and found us.

Was lucky enough to visit here yesterday 22nd Feb 2025 for a wedding. Amazing view from the top. The food was very tasty and well presented. All the staff were very helpful, professional and polite.

30 St Mary Axe, commonly known as 'The Gherkin,' has become an icon for the business centre of London City. It is very distinctive outside, and has great views from inside, as I discovered when I had to do business there recently.

The Gherkin as it is popularly known, is one of London’s most well-known skyscrapers. Cool as a cucumber and uniquely shaped. it has earned itself a coveted place in the hearts of Londoners and among the enduring icons of Buckingham Palace, The London Eye, St Paul’s, and Big Ben as one of London’s great buildings its actual name is the name of the street where it is: 30 St Mary Axe. It’s in the financial heart of London known as the City Of London. It was opened in 2004 and it’s 180m tall. It’s not the tallest building in London but it’s definitely one of the most interesting ones.
