London

Visiting 30 St Mary Axe, known as The Gherkin, is an intriguing experience for kids, especially those fascinated by architecture and skyscrapers. While the interior is typically not open to the public except for special events, just seeing the unique, futuristic design of the building is exciting. Its curved, glass-covered exterior stands out in London’s skyline, and kids will be amazed by the way it contrasts with the older, historic buildings nearby.

Walking around the base of The Gherkin, kids can look up at the striking structure, often sparking curiosity about how such a building was constructed. The nearby streets, filled with other modern skyscrapers and historical landmarks like Leadenhall Market, add to the experience, making it a fun place to explore the old-meets-new vibe of the City of London. While not a typical tourist attraction for kids, seeing The Gherkin can be part of a larger adventure through London's financial district.
