LONDON - JUNE 02: A city scape of London, including landmarks of the Thames river, The London Eye, and Big Ben are pictured from St Mary's Axe, nicknamed The Gherkin on June 2, 2006 in London, England. The famous London landmark standing at 180 metre high, has been listed for sale by its owner Swiss Re, the insurance giant, for an estimated GBP600 million pounds. Swiss Re occupies the first 16 of 34 office floors. The rest are occupied by financial groups such as Allianz, the German insurer, and Cardinal Asset Management. Coutts, the private bank, and Hypo Real Estate, a German mortgage lender, also have offices in the building. (Photo by Daniel Berehulak/Getty Images)
