Yeah, I thought it looked like the Gherkin. What a dumb name for a building imo, but I guess that's what it looks like.

Maybe the Burj Al Arab was intended; it has a similar shape seen from the front.

That's only its nickname of course
We now also have The Shard and to come, The Walkie-Talkie.

Lamp, London is a living, breathing, working city.
I'd rather have something interesting to look at as well as the historical buildings, than the boring cereal-box offices we usually get.
