Insider Tips
Sky Garden offers some of the best free views in London, with floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase iconic landmarks like The Shard, Tower Bridge, and the River Thames. Best time to visit is late afternoon to catch a stunning London sunset!
Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can just walk in! While entry to the Sky Garden is free, it is necessary to book a time slot in advance through their official website. Slots can fill up quickly, so plan ahead and book as early as possible (up to 3 weeks in advance)
