From the other side of the world, all I know is it's called St. Mary Axe, and it belongs in the Movie/TV cliche thread because it's in everything.

There is a restaurant at the top, but it's for the tenants' use only. Swiss Re sold the building a while back, but they're still the main tenant.

I've seen it before but it struck me during the Olympics when they cut from the non-sport dressage to views of London. Classics like Big Ben, The bridge, White Hart Lane (that's one for you brother Tactical G), and then all of a sudden this huge dildo.

You saw White Hart Lane? Really? It's not what I'd call an iconic building.

What's the story behind that name?

Waddle, Hoddle, Ardiles, Clive Allen, Anderton, Ginola, Gaza, Klinsmann... if you build it, they will come!

Yes, I do have a soft spot for Tottenham, and it goes back decades before any Croatian player wore their colors.

Actually I'm sorry, it's 30 St Mary Axe.

But I won't give any more of the story away as I would have to cheat as well.

There's not really a story to it. It's the name of the street it's on. Which is named after the chuch that used to be there.

You want to name a church?
Throw in a woman and a weapon.
