What is the name of the building in London that is egg shaped and why is it there....?

Question

There's an egg shaped buliding close to Liverpool Street and I have no idea what it's called or why it is there.

I know that it's not the Mayors Office because I've been there on a VIP trip lol.

Thankyou!!!!

Answer 1

30 St Mary Axe is a skyscraper in London's main financial district, the City of London. It is widely known by the nickname "The Gherkin", and occasionally as a variant on The Swiss Re Tower, after its previous owner and principal occupier.

Answer 2

its pointless tho

its just to show off new arutectural technology

Answer 3

it is called the cerkin, and it is there mainly as a symbol of what an interesting range of buildings londons builders have made. lol. i think it has lots of offices in as it is quite nesr London's major financial district - "The City". however i wouldnt be suprised if there was a resturant in the building at all.
