Pedestrians take photographs as they stand on the South Bank of the River Thames looking towards skyscrapers including left to right, 20 Fenchurch Street, also known as the "Walkie-Talkie," the Leadenhall building, also known as the "Cheesegrater," and 30 St Mary Axe, also known as the "Gherkin," beyond the north bank of the River Thames in London, U.K., on Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2015. The FTSE 100 Index added 7.53 points, or 0.1 percent, to 6,905.66 at 9:47 a.m. in London, leaving the gauge about 25 points away from the all-time high reached in December 1999.
