It's official name is the Swiss Re building, 30 st Mary Axe, but it's more common affectionate name is the Gherkin, or the Erotic Gherkin.

Even the official web site acknowledges that "The gherkin" is the most commonly known nickname for the building. It is in the old city of London (i.e. the business district). It is ten feet shorter than Tower 42, which is the tallest building in central London.
