London’s highest public garden. Go up to the 35th floor for an amazing 360 degree view across the City of London. Even on an overcast day the view is great. Free tickets via the Skygarden website.
Very Good ServiceMay 6, 2018
Amazing venue with public access to the 35th floor garden of one of the iconic buildings in the City of London, the Walkie-Talkie . Comes to its own at night with great lighting. Must book in advance.

Fantastic view, not too crowded, plenty of space for everyone to enjoy themselves. Not compulsory to buy food/drinks at the bar. Book your free ticket 2 weeks in advance to get good entry time

One of the best place to see the view of London. Go there when the sky is getting darker to see both day and night view. The entrance is free but don’t forget to make an online booking

Amazing views of London from 35th floor. Free entrance, book your time slot at skygardentickets.com. If you hungry, there are two restaurant and one coffee bar to choose from.

Place is amazing with great views. Make sure you reserve your free tickets up front on their website. Grab a beer and take a seat on the sofas and relax. The shared washrooms are not ideal.

Looks like a futuristic terminal at one of the highest eating points in London you'll get great food and a wonderful view. There are other cafes too and you may even be able to get in a yoga class.
Sam SabSeptember 29, 2015
What a place... Beautiful view, great service, they did it in a way it never eats too crowded and u can also have a bite or a drink up there and enjoy the magnificent view... It's a must do visit...
Jason QuarisaJuly 25, 2018
Amazing views and perfect location to take friends and family visiting London. Must book in advance. Suggest you book Garden City Bar and not the other.
George XSeptember 10, 2016
The view of London is amazing, the indoor gardens are beautiful and coffee & cocktails are cheap.Only drawback: you have to book your entrance tickets online (free of charge) enough time in advance.
Ryan WaggonerSeptember 16, 2017
Stunning views of London and gorgeous gardens. Advanced booking required. If you can't get a booking for the garden, book one of the restaurants. Great place for a casual breakfast.
Thunder CatAugust 15, 2015
Get here early on a Saturday (before 11am) to avoid the queues. The gardens are pleasant enough but the views outward are incredible (it's on the 35th floor). Food and drinks are reasonably priced.
HaifaOctober 10, 2021
Breathtaking view. There are Two restaurants: French and British and one cafe. Advance reservation is required. Entry tickets are free but should be booked online in advance.
TausOctober 6, 2018
By the far the highlight of our trip. Amazing views as high as the London Eye. Hard to believe it was absolutely free. Just make sure to make reservations on your phone.
Petr KlikaJanuary 25, 2016
If you are already in London and read this without reservation, your only chance to get up there is to be at the door just before 14:00. They will let you in but there is usually a long queue!
Kevin DulinSeptember 17, 2019
Fantastic views! The garden could be cared for a bit better. Avoid the drinks they are pricey.
Daniel LeyOctober 24, 2017
What an absolutely gorgeous place, views from the top of the steps are even better. Not sure how they track how long you’re up there for, but an hour is more than enough.
Simon TanJanuary 5, 2018
If the free admission tickets are all taken for the week, you can just book a table at the Sky Pod cafe or bar instead - they don't really force you to purchase anything once you're inside :)
Edgar EAugust 20, 2016
Get in early. On Saturdays you can only walk up without a reservation before 11 am. Beautiful views and reasonably priced snacks/drinks at the Sky Bar stand.
Sam HApril 1, 2015
Worth the jaunt up to the 35th floor. No fuss, no long queue, and an unbeatable view of the city, all from a gorgeous viewing deck and lush greenery.
Bruno BelcastroJuly 16, 2016
Free entry to the upper deck when you book in advance via the web, amazing panoramic view of the Thames, London Bridge and the Southwark
Ceren ErcanFebruary 7, 2018
35th floor view, with a garden. Even though I am not a fan of high buildings. Sky garden is really pretty. You can just sit and look around 360• without having to order anything. Book in advance 😉
E3NeenzMay 20, 2015
Who needs the Shard when you can have the Sky Garden for free? Book a free reservation online, head up to the 35th fl. And enjoy beautiful views of London. Terrace closes on windy days :(
Finn BMarch 9, 2019
Stunning views. Book your free ticket well in advance and expect a long queue at the security inspection. Well worth the wait.
Sfitsa🍂May 23, 2016
Go to the 35th floor and enjoy the best view of all the monuments of London from above!After that,grab a table and have definitely a drink..
M RApril 5, 2016
A place is a must to visit in London. Spectacular View from the top . With nice tropical garden and nice coffee shop and restaurant.
LurexusJanuary 10, 2016
Very cool place, great views of London. Definitely pre-book your tickets, there is no guarantee that you'll be able to get upstairs if there is a long line or a lot of people.
Ahmad IsmailMarch 14, 2016
Amazing place to see London from the roof. Book through the website. Walk-ins are allowed from 14:00-16:30 Mon-Fri
Ana LaraJune 22, 2015
Views are stunning, service is nice and yes... drinks and bar food are not cheap but were really well made and well presented. Totally worth a visit!
Wijdan TurkistaniOctober 28, 2018
Amazing view from here! Best place to watch the sunsets💜
Mei SuenFebruary 12, 2015
Amazing views. No appointments necessary before 10am and after 6pm. A bit chilly in the winter, but they do provide blankets on the seats and faux fur rugs to sit on in the cafe/bar.
Sara BucchiAugust 18, 2015
Amazing view,, the dinner was really good but they have't a lot of choice for the food
Wladimir AlbujaOctober 9, 2015
#London #experience Amazing views and an great experience if you come with your partner. Don't forget that it's a garden. Enjoy the plants as well.
Isaac GutiérrezNovember 21, 2018
Make a reservation for a free visit to their roof garden or arrive early to get in line to visit. You get good views.
Alexia KApril 6, 2015
Great scenic views of London designed by Rafael vinoly following the concept of a garden in the top of the roof. Must visit
Weird WolfAugust 18, 2017
Amazing place, with a stunning view of Tower Bridge and whole central London. I use to drink @ Skypod bar: it's not cheap, but it's either not expensive.
AlistairApril 14, 2015
To call that handful of ferns a garden is pushing things somewhat, but the views are wonderful and the bar is reasonably priced considering the location.
AHQSeptember 28, 2015
Great place ,awesome views from the sky... And you can see most of London's buildings and much more from this highest tower.
Liesbeth Van VyncktMarch 31, 2019
So worth it! Make reservations in advance for your time slot and enjoy the magnificent London views.

I so love this place. One of the best views in London, and for free (but you must book in advance, so good luck with the clear sky)
Jack SmithJune 21, 2015
Free entry, but you must pre-book well in advance. Photographic ID is also required for every person whilst proceeding through security checks on ground floor.
Cagri AkgurFebruary 10, 2023
There is a viewing terrace at the top for free. Reservation recommended. You can see London from above
NujudDecember 30, 2019
Good place to breakfast and the garden so lovely I prefer to visit it at breakfast time to avoid the crowds
Jason HirstFebruary 19, 2015
Absolutely fantastic, feels so much more homely than The Shard and feels far more fun. Will certainly be going back.
✨January 20, 2018
Beautiful place for pictures but i don’t think i’ll be visiting again and make sure to book through the website
Njoud FahadFebruary 29, 2016
A must see in London! Very refreshing place to be at! Grab a drink or go for the restaurant, reservation on advance is a must!
Lidia VorontsovaApril 6, 2015
it's free but you have to book in advance. a pint at the bar will set you back by 5-6quid, but you're paying for the amazing view, so it's acceptable.
Michael B.January 28, 2020
Absolutely free and fantastic. Don’t miss it when you’re in London. BOOK FREE TICKETS IN ADVANCE!
Gaylord SequeiraOctober 22, 2017
Best way and best value to see London’s skyline! Great atmosphere and always a must-do when friends and family come to visit London
Michaela WatkinsonJanuary 10, 2016
Beautiful 360 degree views of the city. Better than the shard in my opinion. Roughly £5 for a pint of lager.
