Best Views of London

Opened in 2014, the Sky Garden located on the 32nd floor of the Walkie Talkie building, has been welcoming tourists and Londoners alike to a superb view of the great city. Boasting 360 degree views from observation decks and an open air terrace, one can spend much time up there playing 'Spot the Landmark'.

I pre-booked my free visit a few weeks prior but since we were there midday, during the week, it wasn't all that busy and people were showing up off the street and getting up.

We wandered slowly around the unobstructed views, taking photos and enjoying the gorgeous, sunny sky.

I think one day I'd like to go back for a cocktail at sunset. To watch the sun descend over west London and the twinkling lights of the city spring on. I bet it's something special.

What is it about being able to experience a place from a new perspective that really makes you appreciate it? There's only so much you can see from street level. In fact, while we were here looking down, we could see an interesting facade, but didn't know what it was. Back down on ground level we hunted for the building we had seen and discovered St. Dunstan-in-the-East, a WWII bombed out church made into a beautiful city garden.

  

PS. re-read this post and count how many landmarks you can see from the 20 Fenchurch Street window views.
