The Gherkin is the informal name for the skyscraper at 30 St Mary Axe, which has become an iconic part of the London skyline. This modern and elegant building with its unique cucumber shape (hence its nickname, the Gherkin) is a popular tourist destination. The project was designed by world-renowned architect Norman Foster. Its unusual shape was designed not only for aesthetic appeal, but also with energy efficiency in mind.

In addition to office space, the building also houses several restaurants and bars where you can enjoy a dining experience with a view.
