The Gherkin, officially known as 30 St. Mary Axe, stands out in London’s skyline with its distinctive pickle-shaped design. Located in the heart of the city, this 41-story skyscraper primarily serves as office space. However, visitors can experience the building’s unique architecture and panoramic views by visiting Searcys Helix Restaurant on Level 39 or the Searcys Iris Bar on Level 40, where they can enjoy Champagne and cocktails while taking in the stunning vistas.
