The Gherkin is another monumental feature in GCLC’s neighbourhood. Here, corporate power brokers from all industries wager deals. It is officially called 30 St Mary Axe and its now one of the most famous, if not the most famous building, on the UK skyline. It takes the shape of a cucumber and has been best been described as “a towering rocket ship ready to launch”. It is simply a magnificent building inside and out. At the higher floors, you are greater with stunning views out across the square mile itself, spanning over towards its older brother, Canary Wharf and then across the rest of the capital.
