Sky Garden in City of London, Westminster

very beautiful skyscraper even seen only from the outside. entering you go up to the 35th floor and you arrive in this large room full of trees of all kinds. we had breakfast at the bar (included in the ticket we bought) and we could choose between a plain or chocolate croissant and a hot drink of any kind. the outdoor terrace opens at 11 on weekends but while you wait you can take a walk in the garden and observe the beautiful view through the glass of the structure. beautiful experience!

Fabulous views, nice bar area. Restaurant is great food but it comes at a price..! £40 for the cheapest bottle of wine is a stretch But a restaurant booking means no wait for entry

Great place for couples and friends with a lovely ambience.

Tourist trap. Only go when it’s free during the day time.

Great views without any dent in your pocket. Just make sure you book in advance for a smooth ride. Long queues sometimes but it moves ok.

The elevator was not enough. There are many queues. The toilet queue moves faster.

Absolutely amazing experience. I could see staff is overwhelmed with the management of crowd but overall good experience. Stunning views and relaxing. If you luck get that all experience for free.

Excellent views and a beautiful interior garden. You can see they take care of the plants. The only reason I'm giving it four stars instead of five is that you have to wait to use the restrooms because there aren't many for the number of people they recieve, and they also smell bad.

Great view, free, book tickets in advance, otherwise you won't get there.

Worth visiting, one of the main highlights of a weekend in London

If you want tickets, you have to check often so you don't miss the day you want. After a short, well-organized security check, you quickly got to the top via elevators. The view was incredible, and you can see many sights, including the Tower of London. It's great that the tickets are free. I highly recommend it!

It's a must-see, especially since it's free. Be careful, you have to book in advance (about 3 weeks)!

Great place, great view also to get a drink. But you have to get your online ticket very eraly.

As expected fabulous view of the city over a number of levels. Lots of seats and people seemed to come and go regularly so we moved about quite a bit for different views. Tickets were free. 2 glasses of wine and an apple juice cost about £36 but really you're paying for the views and atmosphere. DJ was playing and our time slot meant we arrived at daylight and left after sunset taking in the sights and lights. Ricardo on the bar was lovely and top service.

It's an amazing view. There are stickers on the windows to highlight notable places. We spent a good hour there but you could spend longer if you went for a drink or something to eat there. The food is expensive, but that's a given, and considering the location is less than it could be. The downside was the security staff. I heard them being openly rude and obnoxious to visitors. It is very unprofessional and it put a damper on the visit.

Nice to see London from above, free... but book in advance, day and time.

Nice place, very good restaurant at 36th floor

In general the place is very nice, incredible views except for the recommendation of Valer the waiter. I asked him for the sweetest cocktail and first he pointed out the most expensive ones. I told him I wanted the £14.20 one and he chose the special one, which was anything but sweet. It was super bitter and very loaded. He had several more victims, 3 specifically and 4 with me, of course it was a cocktail but in this case Molotov. If you want something sweet, no matter what happens, don't order the special or ask Valer. PS: special mention to the security guard at the door and the person in the control area, two beings of light, next time I will ask them about the cocktail.

Been wanting to do this for a few years. Well worth the wait. You do have to book tickets in advance but they are free. Bit pricey for coffee and food but the views are mind blowing. I had forgotten howw close everything is in London. See Wembly stadium amd battersea power station from the same spot was awwsome. Its brilliant

17 GBP for this experience is very worth (one wine included).

Arrived at 2pm on a Sunday & we had a 25-minute wait to get in. Friendly security staff. Airport style bag & body scan before entry. Lift straight to the top. Great views and lovely wisteria over pergola structures. Entry is free. Restaurant at the top.

I liked it very much, clean and very high... recommend

Great deal for breakfast + excellent views

Unfortunately the weather was bad

We had tickets for 10:30 but were there at 10 and that wasn't a problem. People in front of us even had tickets for 12pm and were able to get in at 10am!

Great place and the best views.

Beautiful place to admire London from above and above all it's free. You need to book in advance

Nice views and pleasant place to have a little rest too

They do not enter a room with a reservation ☹️ and the minimum reservation is three weeks

Free - of course great! Very good view and a beautiful garden above. Unfortunately the queue for the elevator back down was very long.

I didn't go up You can only visit it if you pay a breakfast of 30 euros I tried for a whole month and I think they no longer give free tickets, they want to bill The Garden at 120 is an impressive free viewpoint, it opens at 10, it is advisable to arrive at 9:45 to avoid excessive queues

Sky Garden is worth it. The ambience is very nice. You have a great view over the city. It's worth reserving a ticket in advance and you should. It's free, which is also great.

Stunning place where you can admire London from above. Entrance is free but to access it you need to book well in advance. At the top of the 35th floor, two bars and a restaurant.

Well worth when the day is clear.

We couldn't find tickets for the day we could go and our solution was to have dinner at Sky bar!!

We went to have breakfast at their restaurant and reserved a table by the window so we could see the views. The waiters are very attentive and helpful, you can see on their name badges some flags of the languages ​​they speak. The food is very delicious, but yes, it is quite expensive.

Best view of London... and free if you reserve a spot.

Some wonderful views. In addition to a spectacular restaurant on the top floor

It's a great place to visit and very good views of london

Incredible 360 ​​degree viewpoint of London!!!

The place is incredible, the view breathtaking but my cocktail was undrinkable (The Red Smoke). The experience was still nice.

Very bad experience. I had a reservation, they didn't send me the tickets. I wrote more or less every day for 2 weeks and they never replied to me.

An iconic garden with stunning panoramic views of London.

Original experience to see a panorama of London.

We were lucky to get the tickets from the website and visited there during term break. Better go there 10 to 15 minutes early for security check. We took a lift to 35f. It looked like a gigantic area where bars and restaurants set in the center part while you can view the city of London from the outer sideway surrounding them. The view was stunning.

Such an amazing view on the city!

Like every activity in London, it's not like elsewhere. There is always something extra that makes London a city apart. The view of the Shard is nice, you can sit on sofas and drink or snack....plus it's free, so take advantage of it.

Even though you have a free ticket, you have to wait in line for about 30 minutes. Sky Garden very nice viewing platform with outdoor area. Very nicely laid out with lots of plants.

You can skip the queue if you book a restaurant visit. But it is expensive. Enjoyable.

the worst attention on mu entirr life and the worst cofee they ruined my entire day. ADIOS SKY GARDEN

Remind yourself you are paying for the atmosphere and views. Great view of the city. Drinks will be over priced.

Lovely place, fantastic views of London and you can stay as long as youu like and relax on the many sofas they have on the 35th floor. Highly recommend!

Amazing views over the city. Good place to see the sights for free.

Excellent views and worth the effort. We did not have tickets online reserved, so we booked a breakfast reservation at Darwin and got in without any issues. We are attempted to ask for the café, but unfortunately it wasn’t allowed unless you have a reservation with the restaurant (a different facility).

Entry is by ticket, quick pass and beautiful views, not to mention, I highly recommend it.

Far below average. We both ordered a steak tartare as a starter. It basically tasted like pickle juice, the pickles on the side added insult to injury. It’s like they added the juices from the jar to the tartare, we couldn’t taste the meat. I ordered a beef burger, which was just OK, McDonalds level quality. My girlfriend ordered the salmon cake; bland, the spinace server with it was like rubber, no taste to it. We were not asked if we liked our meals even when we left half of our meals untouched. This all for the low price of €160,- (not £ for us). One drink per person included, they charge for tap water. Sad. Nice view though!

Reserved tickets for 16:30, got there about 10 mins before. The queue was long but initially started to move quickly. After about 30 minutes the queue was divided into two sides and anyone queuing with a child under 16 were allowed to go in front and enter before everyone else that had been waiting (probably because under 16's aren't allowed in the sky gardens after 18:00) this meant we didn't get in until about 17:45 so only had about 10 minutes to look around before we had to queue to go back down as we needed to get to our dinner reservation. Not sure if this happens all the time but would advise if you don't have children don't book for around 4:30 timeslot!! Also visited Horizon 22 the same day, booked outside on the day, much better organisation and fantastic views.

The Sky Garden in London offers stunning 360° views of the city from the top of the Walkie Talkie building. It’s a lush, indoor garden with bars and restaurants, and best of all—entry is free with a pre-booked ticket. A peaceful escape with great photo ops and a unique skyline experience.

Beautiful view. Free entry but must be booked in advance.

Sky Garden is a really beautiful place. It's a free place where you can see London 360 degrees. Definitely make your reservation two weeks before you go. I recommend it.

Incredibly comfortable place to enjoy a few hours admiring London from above. free compared to other attractions such as the London Eye from which you could however admire Big Ben

Great views of London. The pictures on the glass helpfully point out the landmarks. There were loads of places to sit and enjoy the view. Bars and restaurants very overpriced but what you expect of a tourist trap in central London

Viewpoint with essential reservation online 3 weeks in advance. We arrived 25 minutes early and no problem. Baggage control like at the airport. Super fast elevator for about 22 people in about 30 seconds goes up 38 floors. There are 2 elevators that do not stop. Upstairs sofas, a bar and a forest with beautiful views... no maximum length of stay. Advisable

One of the best views of London, beautiful, the drinks are very good, a must-see place 😍

At 5:30 pm they no longer let us in... when the schedule is published until 11 pm!? Anyway.

Lovely free experience to get gorgeous views of London, definitely try book before you go if you can otherwise you can queue for up to 45 mins to get in, but even then it’s worth it!!!!

OMG this is one of the best place in London! You need to be there. Had a lovely and brilliant time with my partner

The view is nice and the place is great for a drink in the evening. The view of London at night is great

Tremendous! Definitely worth it, delicious breakfast

Excellent views of London. I paid £15 or £18 to enter on Sunday morning. I received a coffee and a croissant with the enter. The views are really good. The place is beautiful and relaxing.

I recommend booking the Sunrise at sky garden breakfast, if you happen to be in a quiet period you can go directly without a reservation, paying at the entrance. During breakfast times there are few people and you can enjoy the place in peace, compared to the times open to free visits which tend to be much more crowded.

Peaceful and beautiful view for central London's view

The sky bar was a great experience. Amazing views and service!

Good experince. Highest point in London. Even I hadn’t a ticket the girl which manages to line helped me. Thank you guys.

Magnificent experience. It’s a very nice place with a great atmosphere. You see London and its monuments in a different way. I recommend

Incredible place, a garden high up with views of the entire city. It also has a couple of restaurants and a bar. The best thing is that it is free, although you have to reserve 2 weeks in advance, although they still receive a walk-in.

Very beautiful 180° view of London. Too bad the windows are dirty for photos but the place is nice and the elevator is very fast.

Got up at exactly 5am EST on a Monday to get tickets which is when they get released, only to find out their IT department messed up and only released tickets for the weekend that week. There are no maintenance days that week nor are there any known week-long events that closed the venue to public visitors.

Very beautiful views and viewpoint

High-class, great service, not for those on a budget and only with reservation.

Without a doubt a must-see in London, very close to the Tower and the Bridge. You have to get tickets three weeks in advance, it's totally free. When we arrived we queued for approximately 25 minutes. The views of London are wonderful, and the garden-like setting is beautiful. There are bars and restaurants to eat or have a drink. We had a small glass of beer and a hot chocolate and spent £10 on both things. This was in the bar in the central hall. The rest that are higher up are a little more expensive. You go up and down to the 35th floor in two seconds, there are bathrooms and access for people with disabilities.

This place is run horribly. The queue was chaos. We had tickets for 16:30, and arrived at 16:20. The line was winding with hundreds in queue. It only got worse as more people showed up as the queue ran down the sidewalk of the building. That's not the worst part. When we arrived near the front of the line, they split the queue in two lines, one for family and under 18, and one for over 18 adults. Okay, fine, i get it. They want to get families and kids in before it turns into a bar. Well, that was not advertised, and now we need to sit in low priority queue for an additional 30 minutes not moving at all. We enter the security line 45 minutes after our reserved time. BY THE WAY, THEY DIDN'T CHECK TICKETS, so anybody could have come by and lied to get in. Anyways, the security line was just as scuffed. They have two metal detectors/baggage checker machines like airport security, but they split us into 3 lines, no regard for your position in queue, it was unprofessional and wacky. My group got put in this mythical third line, and we merged with one of the other lines at the bag check. No regard for the queue at that point. It is a free for all. Staff is just checking people with metal scanners and rushing people through to the two elevators that take people up and down. The only good part of the experiences was that the elevators, packed as they may be, moved up 35 floors pretty quick. Now, the actual place. It is a cool view. I liked it. It's not worth that entry experience. You can walk outside to get a nice view from one side of the building towards the Thames. HOWEVER, they closed this outside area at 18:00. We got up into the building at 17:45, with 16:30 tickets. Luckily, we went to the outside right away and got to see the view of London for a bit. Had we shown up on the actual booked time of the tickets, we would have missed it. In summary: The place is managed poorly, it has a nice view, and if I could get a refund for my free tickets, I would.

You have to book a slot in advance for free entry. At the entrance you go through a security check like at the airport. It went pretty quickly and you take the elevator to the 35th floor. Great views with an indoor garden. There is also a cafe upstairs, and if you want you can take your own snack and relax on the numerous seating options.

Beautiful escape from the busy streets of London

Totally worth it if you get the free tickets 3 weeks in advance. Amazing views and a fun experience to see all of London!

A shame to miss it, it offers a unique view across London.

Nice experience good food reasonable prices

Very beautiful view. Everything is great. You will be surprised.

Sunset is arguably best time to go but if not bothered, try and do early because it gets busy.

A great discovery, magnificent views. We bought our tickets for 12:45, a bit crowded but still acceptable. If you go to London, go for it!

Incredible view from London sky/city.

You have to buy the ticket a month in advance and you have to wait in line for more than an hour even if you have tickets.

I recommend this free London attraction. The views from the skyscraper gallery are amazing. You need to book your stay in advance.

Garden in the sky with 360° views of London, without spending a pound

Superb 360 degree view of London It is worth the cost of the climb that in a few seconds offers you a spectacular panorama

Get your free ticket online in advance. The wait time is about 15 minutes until you get to the top. There's a lovely terrace at the top with bars, panoramic windows, plants, and music.

It was an awesome experience, the free visit is a great chance to see the whole city. We went in the morning, for an early time slot and it was a good idea, there weren’t too much visitor, we didn't have to wait.

Went here for my bday with my girl and it was OK, food was mid but view was amazing. Good thing I was going japan the next day or this would have been boring.

It's free, you have to buy a ticket. From the top you can see part of London.

Really impressive view and took nice photos! Not cheap, still worth it. Pricing (after free hours on weekdays) is questionable as there is no option for entrance without a drink. Options are champagne 22£ or vine/mocktail 15,5£. Vine was horrible, mocktail mostly syrup, therefore also horrible. Had a great ale later at the bar upstairs, no clue why they 'force' a bad drink on you in the first place. Another weird thing, I had a problem understanding the bartender, and simply replied politely 'I'd like to order a drink', which resulted in a hostile "That's not what i asked", and him serving the next customer. Had to go to another bartender. (Understood from context afterwards he had said 'who's next'...)
