FILE - In this Monday April 10, 2006 file photo, a view from Nelson's Column shows the Gherkin building over central London's skyline. Accountancy firm Deloitte LLP says Thursday, April 24, 2014 it has been appointed receiver of one of London's most iconic buildings, the Gherkin. The high-rise office tower in London's financial district is co-owned by Germany's IVG Immobilien AG, which went into bankruptcy protection last year. Deloitte said Thursday that the building had run into difficulties due to its "complex, multicurrency capital structure." The tower, nicknamed the Gherkin for its distinctive pickle-like shape, houses the headquarters of insurance company Swiss Re. (AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth, file)

In this Wednesday, March 26, 2014 photo, some of the skeletons found by construction workers under central London's Charterhouse Square are pictured. Twenty-five skeletons were uncovered last year during work on Crossrail, a new rail line that's boring 13 miles (21 kilometers) of tunnels under the heart of the city. Archaeologists immediately suspected the bones came from a cemetery for victims of the bubonic plague that ravaged Europe in the 14th century. The Black Death, as the plague was called, is thought to have killed at least 75 million people, including more than half of Britain's population. (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis)
