The gherkin, a gherkin shape building, a feature of London's skyline, is seen for miles. From the north, for instance, it can be seen from the M11 motorway, 32 kilometres (20 mi) away,[18][19] whilst to the west it can be seen from the statue of George III in Windsor Great Park.
You can see it across the river from the Tate Modern Gallery of art. (Walk around the art gallery. Walk across on the pedestrian Millennium bridge (free of charge - a free challenge) towards St Paul's cathedral.) You can also see The Gherkin it from Hay's Galleria near London Bridge tube and mainline station (see my later post Aug 27 2015).
The Gherkin opened in April 2004. It has 41 storeys, and is 180 metres (591 ft) tall.

If you want to visit and dine in the Gherkin, a restaurant at the top of the glass dome is another possibility. You can even hire it to hold a wedding there.
