In this photo of the skyline of London, you can see the 30 St Mary Axe, a strange-looking building with a stranger nickname. What do Londoners call this round structure?

The Gherkin stands 591 feet tall and was completed in 2004. It can be seen here along with the many other skyscrapers that make up the London skyline. Another London building with a strange name is the Shard, a spiky 72-story building originally called the London Bridge Tower.
