Sky Garden in City of London, Westminster

Great way to see London from the top! I stayed until sunset to see both the day and night scenes of London from above. They have plenty of sits and a big bar for drinks

Not to be missed. STUNNING. Perfect breakfast venue. Last year, I could not get a booking, so this year, when it was tough, we got the breakfast, coffee and croissant, option. Spectacular in every way. I would live to go back at dusk and watch a sunset

Beer selection is limited but mixed drinks were good. Busy but service was great.

Beautiful way to see amazing views

Worth trying at least once, the view is spectacular

Very nice view and overall the place was not overcrowded, it's nice, it's a change from other tourist places

The place itself is wonderful, the viewpoint in the evening is very impressive. We had booked entry and a seat at the Sky garden bar. The service was very friendly and helpful, the food was tasty. The only drawback was that we got a table right next to the revolving doors outside, which were already closed to tourists, but unfortunately it was still quite windy and it was simply cold. I highly recommend it ♥️

Really a beautiful view of London. To do for free if you find a slot available on their site.

Brilliant, loved it and will book again. Free tickets released on Mondays @10:00GMT. Great views and you can spend as much time there as you want.

Nice oasis in the middle of the city. Impressive views

Great views but took a long time to get through security

Well, everyone sticks their smartphone to the window when the weather doesn't cooperate. The terrace is closed

A show. A luxury to be able to enjoy London from the 35th floor, also for free. Highly advisable.

Recommended to reserve free entrance at least a month ago. Beautiful London View and if you got the resrervation not much wait.

I was told I could go in without a reservation, but they blocked me, saying I couldn't go in without a reservation. So I made a reservation at the restaurant and went in.

Great experience! Tickets must be reserved 3 weeks in advance!

It’s alright I guess. A bit overrated, the view is fantastic but they do rush you through the place fast. I still would recommend a visit though.

Really scenic lookout of London. It was still worth going to on a slightly overcast day - cocktails and food is expensive but the ticket was free, it’s a great thing to add to your itinerary if you’re a tourist!

Place to visit The concept is cool, very beautiful view of London and also free We were able to see a very beautiful sunset Too bad the upstairs bar was closed Please note, you absolutely must book in advance I booked 2 weeks in advance to come in April

Nice place to visit and see the view of London. My daughter brought me there and it was breath taking. Restaurants available, expensive but good as many people visiting. Must be seen.

A panoramic skyscraper on the 37th floor

Warning : when booking or queueing there is no mention security check is more strigent that Eurostar's. Had a reservation for Lunch but did pass security check because of French knife I use to peel fruits for my kids.

It's hard to get tickets. You always have to book tickets 3 weeks earlier on Mondays (they are free) but it is very worth it. The view is great and it is very beautiful at the top.

I been there twice and everytime I was asked for a ticket, which I couldn't get as the online service gives error when you try and set date for visit. Turned away.

spectacular 360 degrees view of London awaits, for the cost of $0! Just make a reservation in advance, and get your free ticket (or have lunch or dinner one of the restaurants - reservation more easily available. The view is amazing, especially the Shard and Tower Bridge.

Enjoy the astonishing view from the top of the iconic Walkie Talkie building and discover the impressive sky garden it has to offer. Drink a cup of tea at the cafe and check out the terrace. It is completely free to visit, you only need to book your ticket in advance because the interest is huge. Best times to visit I would say are either sunset or sunrise and definitely bring your camera.

Beautiful garden at a high altitude, a hit!

Amazing view of London and beautiful sunset, great day, nice scenery at evening, it's free for everyone so take advantage to visit sky garden and see London from top level.

Beautiful view, nice atmosphere... great

My colleagues and I have been trying to book the free tickets on Sky Gardens website for the past 3 weeks - alas no future tickets available..EVER. The only way we have found to reserve a time is by booking a reservation in the restaurant.

Good lunch/dinner place on the 37th floor. You need reservations to go there. Good food. The fish cakes were good. Great views of London

Free ticket booked in advance. Was late but staff was great and still let us in. Second time going and it’s still beautiful. The amount of plants was lacking compared to the first time I went but still nice. The bar staff were nice and polite and areas kept clean. Toilets clean from what I can tell only used baby changer.

I made the mistake of making an advanced reservation for this place. It was a quiet Tuesday evening 9:30pm with no line at the door. Keep in mind that reservations create the obligation in the customer to spend a certain amount of money and there’s also a mandatory service fee (%) as well. As I arrived at Sky Garden, the place was visibly over staffed with many waitresses (etc.) standing around talking in small groups. After being seated by the host, no one came to take our drink order for thirty minutes. A waitress in our section gave us the cold shoulder ignoring all attempts to flag her down. Someone finally noticed that we had been there awhile without drinks, and accused us of not having a reservation. This waitress suggested that we go fetch our own drinks from the bar, as she isn’t required to serve anyone without an advanced reservation. If that wasn’t bad enough. 20 minutes before closing, the host came out and began badgering us to pay and leave. They brought us paper cups along with the checks to pour our unfinished drinks in. As this was going on more people came and sat down in our section with freshly poured drinks they’d gotten directly from the bar. Apparently there’s no system at Sky Garden in place for wait staff to distinguish someone with a reserved table from a walk-in guest with no reservation. Since there were plenty of chairs anyone can just grab a seat. You can get your own drinks at the bar and not bother with rude, inefficient, snotty wait staff or their service fees. Apparently only those with reservations are subjected to mandatory fees and then hurried away like a nuisance. Drinks were adequate (though expensive). Wait staff were rude and inept.

Fantastic views! Good food but not spectacular.

Free when booking 1 month in advance. Nice place with a great view over much of London. In the city. No waiting. To do by completing with the Tower of London not far away. It's a good half day activity.

Lovely place to get a good view of London sky line. Sad that it's booked way in advanced for the sunstet, but after 9 pm it's free for all. Great place, not so crowded, lots of space and points to watch London from above. 5/5.

Excellent views of all of London, get tickets early, they are free

Sublime view of London. Free location. Simply book 3 weeks before you come to the site

Great place to absolutely do if you are passing through London. On the other hand it's free but reserve your places 3 weeks in advance but otherwise the view is great.

It is worth to wait and you do not need a ticket. The view is amazing. :)

Great views over London and lovely food.

Brilliant place to visit. Book free tickets a month in advance. Friendly, uncrowded and fantastic views. Yea and coffee not extortionate and plenty of tables. No time limit on staying.

Magnificent place overlooking London!

Fantastic evening st the Sky Garden. Highly recommended.

Nice place with nice views - we did not pre book tickets, and had to queue - we went around noon, and we got in fairly fast - its just too crowded inside, might be better to go at a different time/during the week days to enjoy the view and spend more time there.

Amazing view on a London with beautiful gardens inside. You can enjoy delicious cocktails there or book a restaurant.

Great view. Recommend coming at night. There are too many kids at early time

Perfect breakfast in one of London's iconic buildings

Morning Saturday Yoga, A gorgeous experience at Sky Garden. Wake your body up with the sun and clouds. While we can’t guarantee it won’t be overcast, the botanical element, the soothing practice, and the incredible view is worth it… come rain or shine! Get your ticket on design my night to guarantee a spot X

Amazing place feels like been in the tropics

Great sightseeing spot. Take the lift up and enjoy a view over the whole of London. No entry.

I like the view from the top to the city. I advise to buy the tickets in advance, Because there is to line one line for ticket holder which is run faster and other line is for non ticket holder but it take some time but it worth waiting even if you don’t buy the tickets in advance it will take some time to wait in this line .

Great food, with amazing views. Stunning experience and our waiter Brendon was really good. Great place to come for a special occasion and well priced. Views across London were breathtaking and watching London lights come on into the night was amazing.

I loved!!!! Super nice view of London!

Great view over the rooftops of London, lots of seating options. No obligation to consume.

Beautiful view and roof terrace

A gate on the top floor of a high-rise building is something special. Simply worth seeing and free of charge. However, you must reserve a timeslot in advance.

Spectacular place to have breakfast and see the most important things in London from above.

We were in April and it was quite cold, since it wasn't heated. View is lovely.

nice view of the city at night, good drinks and food

Beautiful. Try to pick a day when it’s not raining or dull so you can get the most of the views. We were lucky and got to go on the terrace but they seem to shut it quite quickly if there is wind or rain. Presumably as it’s high up maybe! We didn’t ask! Gardens are beautiful and the restaurant also has a nice view in the Darwin! Definitely book beforehand and then you can go straight up to the sky garden without having to queue.

It's worth visiting the sky garden, impressive views. It is best to book your visit on the website in advance, it normally opens the month before and every week, appointments are always at 2pm. There is a bar where you can eat and sit but it is not mandatory to consume. For those who are afraid of taking an elevator, it's no problem, you can barely feel the elevator going up/down.

A very beautiful view of London. Upstairs there is a garden with a bar and seating area. It is better to book the entrance a few days in advance. 😊

Free but, you are not welcome. Reservation 1 month in advance

Site to see to have a breathtaking view of London. Several bars to have a good time.

Great view over London - worth seeing!!!

I would prefer to go here around the sunset time. It is busy but beautiful, it is an experience where you will see London from up high and get yourself lost to how beautiful the City is. If you are thinking on ordering drinks or foods, they don’t accept cash.

By entering I was slightly disappointed. I didn't expect to be eating bread and butter right here. We were here with friends at 23:00 and they had no more chicken satay. The entrance to the balcony was also closed and it didn't have the atmosphere for me. Otherwise, the interior is beautiful, full of flowers and the cocktails were also excellent. The floor can be walked all the way around and the view of the whole of London is wonderful!

We booked for the Darwin brasserie on the 36th floor... the prices are awesome 😅 but the service and view are worth it

Amazing place to london.totally free to go up but book first.

Mandatory visit to London. Beautiful and a visual delight.

Gorgeous ! To do ! Reserve your slot in advance, if not possible, you will still be able to access it if you eat in one of the restaurants 😉

The lady on the front of the building was very rude and very unhelpful. I can understand how popular the place is but if you're so rude and dismissive and unhappy with you're work just leave ur job cause ur putting off people visiting skygarden

We had a lovely breakfast at the Darwin Brassiere in Sky Garden. The views from the restaurant were breathtaking and the food was excellent. We walked down one level to the Sky Garden lookout and got a better view of the City of London. We reserved at this restaurant months ago so it is wise to try to get a table well in advance.

A different place worth visiting to make a stop on your London itinerary! A sensational view of the city from above and a good place to have a coffee, recharge and move on!

Gardens nice, amazing views, couldn't get out to the balcony as was closed due to the weather. Was crammed, and hat to queue long, if we wouldn't have booked, we would been sent away as were too many that afternoon.

Loved the experience, it's my 4th visit, this time the balcony was open, we had a full 360' degree look around of London. Pretty great. Highly recommend it❤️

Great place to drink a coffee ☕👌

weirdly intense airport-like security. the actual gardens were clean and well kept. quite full of people even while in the middle of a weekday but the view was definitely worth it

Crowd and queue management could have been better. Quarter of the section was closed for reason unknown.

Super friendly staff at the City Garden bar, wonderful view of London

Booked in advance and they wouldn't let us in! Forget going there

We arrived at 9:45 and they already let us in. Go up in just 10 seconds. Spectacular views.

A very good experience!! Be sure to make a reservation in advance

Sky garden offers breathtaking views of central London without any charges…yes it’s free of charge!!! Can’t believe when I hv heard this for the first time as London doesn’t offer any free stuff. However it’s true it is free spot and completely free of charge. You just need to book a slot in advance and enjoy the cocktail once you up on 35 th floor with amazing views of city of London!!! There is no time limit as you can stay up there for few hours I recommend you to book in the evening so tht you can see views during daytime and night. And let me know which one do you like the most I personally likes the evening pink sky night time breathtaking views.

Extremely disorganized system. You get a ticket and still have to queue for a long time together with people that dont have a ticket. Can hardly think of a worse way to spend your time.

The views from the outside terrace are very good, but I made an appointment at 5:45 p.m. and it turns out that the outside terrace closes at 6:00 p.m., then you can have cheese inside but I don't understand why they close the outside terrace so soon

Very nice & free viewing platform There you can marvel at London from above It is advisable to book tickets in advance so that you don't have to wait

Beautiful viewpoint from which you can see an extensive panoramic view of London. The top floor houses a beautiful garden, cafeteria and restaurant. Admission is free, although you must reserve.

We ate at the Darwin Brasserie on the 36th floor of the Sky Garden Tower. A beautiful view of the city of London with a completely unobstructed view of London Bridge. The bill is more expensive than a simple brasserie. The burger for 23 pounds. The cocktail at 11 pounds. But don't go there looking at the prices just for the view and the pleasure of sharing a meal with friends or family in an unusual place.

Located on the 35th floor of a modern building....place to sip a drink in the wonderful garden while enjoying an incredible view...access upon free reservation...unmissable!

The views are amazing and it's free, you just have to book

Very nice panoramic view of London... Explanations and details of what we see would not have been a luxury, too bad. 🙁. But it's free, so we can't complain!

With binoculars, you can see the tower blocks of Woking, 25 miles away, and Windsor Castle on the western horizon. The furthest hills you can see are probably those near Farnham, Surrey, over 35 miles away (since you can see the Walkie Talkie from there with binoculars.) You can also see planes coming into land at Gatwick, on the other side of the North Downs. Views to the north and east are more restricted by other tall buildings.

Sky Garden at floor 35 it’s an unique place in the world , must be there minimum once in a lifetime , justa one of the most special things and the service is really good

The view is amazing, but remember to book ticket one week earlier! Maybe you can try to walk in.

I'm waiting for reservation confirmation for lunch. Please confirm me via WhatsApp Tuesday April 16

A unique and beautiful place to visit, you must reserve at least 3 months in advance. It's free directly through the page, a must-see in London.

Reservation recommended. Very nice setting. Magnificent view.

Great place to visit , nice view
