One of London's newer landmarks, the nicknamed walkie scorchie building. So named after it melted parts of a city boy's posh car. Read this post for the story.
As it is the first of the month the city daily photo community choose a theme. This month it is landmark. To see other city landmarks visit here.

You've photographed this so well. You can really see how it bends.
I remember that! Good choice!
Oh, yes, I remember that! Good perspective shot.
The architects and engineers who designed and signed off on this should have a black mark on their records the rest of their careers for that fiasco.
A good choice! It is a building that won't be forgotten soon.
i love your perspective, wonderful!
I don't know why, but the story of this building frying a rich boy's fancy car makes me laugh.
A-ha, a curved building.... Thought only the Gherkin could claim that... :)
Good one. I remember seeing that story on the news.
