The London Gherkin There's a new skyscraper that's been officially opened today and Londoners are referring to it as 'The London Gherkin'
I'm sorry, but "gherkin" isn't the first word that springs to mind. Well - not to my mind. Its very striking. | |

It opened today? Hasn't it been around for a while? I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

It's been up since I moved here last September. At night it has these red lights at the tip... I guess to avoid planes crashing into it. I think it's beautiful and gives the Thames skyline something new... other than that honking big OXO tower!  I mean, like, where is the sun? | |
