London

The Gherkin Skyscraper

Show me on the map

Description:

In 2004, in England, in the City, grew 180-meter unusual skyscraper. Decorated with green glass and having an oblong shape, the building was immediately nicknamed “cucumber” (“cornichone”). The original grid structure significantly transformed the landscape of the capital of England. In addition, the building is considered very environmentally friendly and energy efficient due to such a cone design and double glass.

The main tenant of this administrative office center is a Swiss insurance company. The restaurant at the top of the building offers excellent views of London and the City.
