Have you ever heard of a building in London called the "Gherkin"? (or "Bullet" or "Cucumber Building".) It's real name is the 30 St Mary Axe, and it's a skyscraper in London known for its bizarre shape, and due its shape it's one of the easiest skyscrapers to spot in the London skyline, possibly even the easiest; I have seen it from a distance when visiting the outskirts of London.
It's supposedly a very energy-efficient structure as well, with the shape of the building helping towards that. However, it is not the tallest building in London: that title goes to One Canada Square, although it will lose that status over the next few months to a year as taller buildings than it finish construction.
