Gherkin

30 St Mary Axe, also known as the Gherkin is a skyscraper in London’s main financial district, completed in December 2003. It is 180 meters tall, with 40 floors. Its construction symbolized the start of a new high-rise construction boom in London. The gherkin name refers to the highly unorthodox layout and appearance of the building.The building uses energy-saving methods which allow it to use half the power a similar tower would typically consume. The primary occupant of the building is Swiss Re, a global reinsurance company.
