What's that new building in London that looks a bit like an air freshener?

Having said that I can't find any air fresheners shaped like that on google :rolleyes: It's a bit like the top of a Walls Magnum ice cream or a big version of the Space Centre at Leicester.

Anyhow - from St Pancras (coming into London on the train) it is on the left, in the same general direction of the Nat West Tower. I've seen it a few times on the telly and am just wondering what it is...

It's the Erotic Gherkin

:eek::D

Its a new building in St Mary's Axe opposite the Aviva (prev CGNU) tower. Not sure what companies are gonna be in it yet. Its gonna have a restaurant and penthouses at the top of it. :D

lmao @ V5 :D

Indeed it is Full story

V5 may have a point :D :D

Cheers for the link 4lex L. :)

X-Seed 4000. Looks like something out of science fiction...

Cant remember what to put into the [ ] at the begining and end of the immage ?

It looks very silly!

Unsurprisingly, the X-seed 4000 is in the "never came close to being built" category! :D
