Dusk view from the embankment in front of the Design Museum looking along the River Thames towards Tower Bridge and the City of London, with the Swiss Re Building on the right. After a long period of construction, the Swiss Re Building officially opened on Wednesday 28 April 2004. Its address is 30 St Mary's Axe. See the Foster and Partners website

The Swiss Re Building looks stunning from any direction, though its outline doesn't change. Sir Norman Foster was born in Manchester and trained at Manchester University.
