Mike Day
An obvious choice for an unusual photo opportunity. The cleverley named 'Gherkin' is a standout architectural design in the heart of the City of London. It does almost reflect a Green colour, or is that just an illusion? The stucture itself is much bigger, close up, than it appears from a distance.

St Mary Axe, commonly known as The Gherkin, is a distinctive skyscraper located in the financial district of London. Completed in 2003 and officially opened in 2004, it has become one of the most recognizable modern landmarks in the city. Key Facts about The Gherkin: Address: 30 St Mary Axe, London EC3A 8EP Architect: Norman Foster and the architectural firm Foster + Partners Height: 180 meters (591 feet) Floors: 41 Design: Its curved, cylindrical shape resembles a gherkin (pickled cucumber), giving the building its nickname. The design minimizes wind load, enhancing structural efficiency. Sustainability: The building incorporates eco-friendly elements, such as natural ventilation, reducing the need for air conditioning by 50%. Purpose: Primarily an office building, with companies in finance and insurance occupying much of the space. Architecture and Legacy: The Gherkin stands out for its sleek, spiraling pattern of glass panes and steel framework. The building sits on the former site of the Baltic Exchange, which was damaged by an IRA bomb in 1992. Its modern appearance contrasts with the older architecture in the surrounding area, highlighting London’s blend of historical and contemporary designs. Due to its striking design and central location, The Gherkin has become a symbol of modern London, often featured in films, advertisements, and tourism campaigns.
