    The Sky Garden is an impressive place high above the rooftops of London. Between lush greenery and modern architecture, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the city. The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff are friendly and admission is free. It's definitely worth a visit - especially at sunset!

    Amazing experience from start to finish. It was our first time at The View and we loved it. The bar staff were super quick and polite, we had plenty of room to walk around at our own pace and we managed to sit down for a while too. It wasn't rushed and the 'view' was breathtaking.

    It wasn't unforgettable but gave a great view of London, did recognise some landmarks. No seats round the table making it difficult to enjoy our champagne
