Facts About the Gherkin:
The Gherkin, also known as 30 St Mary Axe, is one of London’s most instantly recognisable buildings. Located in the heart of the city’s financial district, it stands as a symbol of modern architecture, contrasting sharply with the historic buildings around it. Designed by renowned architect Sir Norman Foster and built by Skanska, the building was completed in 2004.
At 180 metres (591 feet) tall, the Gherkin was one of the tallest buildings in London upon its completion, and it continues to stand out with its unique shape. Its distinctive, tapered design—resembling a gherkin or pickle—features a spiralling glass façade that twists as it ascends. The building is an example of sustainable design, with a structure that minimises energy consumption while maximising natural light.
The Gherkin cost £200 million to construct, and today, it is one of the most recognised buildings in London’s skyline. With its eco-friendly features, it has become an iconic representation of both London’s financial power and its commitment to sustainable development. Visitors and Londoners alike can’t help but marvel at its innovative design and contribution to the city’s modern aesthetic.
