 * subst:requested move|The Gherkin (London)||KC9TV 03:43, 3 June 2012 (UTC) **** COMMONNAME. In Wikipedia, common names of land-marks, buildings, et cetera, often in practice trump and take precedence over any so-called "official names", e.g., "Big Ben" is simply Big Ben, not "the Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster", and more controversially, "Saint James' Park" is Saint James' Park, not "Sports Direct Arena" (as least for the foreseeable future). Most reasonable native-English-speaking persons living in England, within or without, inside or outside of London, would have known (if not also grown up to know) this building simply by the name "The Gherkin" (~ 827,000 results (Google)) . This name "30 St Mary Axe" (~ 515,000 results (Google)), "official" or not, is more of an advertising, marketing and promotional name from (and imposed upon Wikipedia by) the lettings (property-rental) agencies. — KC9TV 03:43, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
