On the skyline the three most prominent buildings are, from left to right, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower 42, aka the NatWest Tower, and the Gherkin, formerly 30 St Mary Axe. NatWest no longer occupy Tower 42. The ship with the buff funnel, below St Paul's, is HMS President which served in her final naval role as HQ of the London Royal Naval Reserve. She is now in Chatham awaiting restoration. Her history can be found at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_President_(1918)]
