Yesterday

We were already at Sky Garden at 8:00 AM, but unfortunately it was very cloudy. Luckily we stayed up there until just before 10:00 AM, by which time the sky was clear and you could see across all of London!

On our recent trip to London we wanted to see the city from above but didn't want to deal with the crowds or cost of The Shard. We found that you can enter the Sky Garden before everyone else AND get coffee and a pastry included. Entry was very easy - you check in downstairs and take the elevator up to the 35th floor. From there you are free to wander around and enjoy the scenery for 2 hours. The Sky Garden had a nice selection of coffee drinks to choose from and a small assortment of pastries (I got the chocolate croissant). Plenty of seating available and the restrooms were easy to find. Definitely check this out if you want an aerial view of London.

I loved the Sky Garden! It was my first stop off, on my first trip to London! It was fabulous and gave me a clear orientation of the landmarks of your beautiful city. The staff were professional and helpful. The garden was an added bonus making for a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

Unforgettable London experience! Booking tickets in advance via Headout was smooth and effortless. The entry security was quick, and the lift ride to the top was exciting. Once inside, the 360-degree views of London left me speechlessly amazed. Highly recommend!

Sky Garden wasn't great. We could have skipped it because the London Eye is better for taking photos from above. It's redundant. Better to just go to the London Eye alone.

Stunning venue and enjoyed visit however they know how many tickets are booked yet only 2 people serving drinks with a slow coffee machine so the queue took up a lot of the time we had to enjoy the surroundings

Start your morning at Sky Garden with early access, breakfast, and skyline views before the crowds arrive.

Getting started

Arrive at the Sky Garden entrance with your early access ticket and proceed through the security check. Scan the QR code on your voucher to download the Sky Garden digital audio guide in English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian using the venue Wi-Fi. After security, an elevator takes you up to the Sky Garden level, where your visit begins.

What to expect

Set 155 meters above London, Sky Garden is an indoor viewing space wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, with landscaped greenery and open areas to wander. From here, you can look out across the Thames and spot landmarks such as the Shard and the Tower of London while you explore at your own pace.

Features

Walk through the landscaped indoor gardens and viewing terraces to see London from above, with clear views of the Thames, the Shard, and the Tower of London.

Use the Sky Garden digital audio guide on your own smartphone to learn about the city’s key sights and the stories behind the skyline, available in five languages through a single app.

Enjoy early access tickets that let you visit in the morning, so you can move through security and up to the viewing level before the main crowds arrive.

Receive a freshly brewed coffee and your choice of breakfast pastry as part of your ticket, giving you a light breakfast while you take in the views.

If you select the upgrade option, your experience includes a two-course breakfast at Larch Restaurant opposite Sky Garden, where you sit down for a full meal before continuing your visit to the viewing level.
