Combo (Save 10%): Sky Garden + Tower of London Tickets

At 8:00 AM, we walked along the Thames from the Harriott Hotel by the London Eye (which we booked this morning through this app) to the Tower, arriving right on time at 8:45 AM. We still had to wait about 45 minutes until entry, but that is normal and wasn't an issue at all in the sunny weather! Following the advice we’d received, we headed straight over to the Crown Jewels exhibition. That collection is truly impressive! The other areas are all interestingly designed as well. The entire castle and all its sections are in very good, well-maintained, and restored condition. You’d never believe that the Tower has several hundred years under its belt! The guards are all very friendly, but also take their duty very seriously! They are happy to let you take photos, but putting an arm around their shoulder—which one female tourist tried to do—was politely declined! The restrooms are also in very good condition. As a German, it's nice to see that some signs also provide information in German! However, exploring some of the areas does require good physical fitness. In the White Tower, you first walk through all 3 floors twice along the length and twice across the width before winding your way back down inside one of the turrets! The minimum 3 hours you should plan to see most areas fly by very quickly! If, like us, you also opt for Tower Bridge admission with a slightly cheaper combo ticket, take the stairs instead of the elevator (which we only noticed once we reached the top), and then walk all the way back to the hotel, you are guaranteed some serious muscle soreness the next day if you're an out-of-shape tourist! The meticulously maintained Engine Rooms of Tower Bridge are also very interesting. The steam engine looks so pristine that you’d think it was just built! Though back when it was still coal-fired, it probably looked a bit dustier! The rich green with contrasting pin-striping painted on all the moving parts shows that true craftsmen who loved their trade were at work here! All in all, a fantastic combo trip that is well worth doing twice in a lifetime! It’s a pity, though, that no guided tours are offered in German, but you rarely find those at British attractions anyway...

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.

Everything went as scheduled. Marilu, the host at The Larch restaurant, was very kind. She suggested that I go to the Sky Garden terrace first. It was perfect. I had the opportunity to visit the open-air terrace at the Sky Garden and take great photos of the River Thames, the Tower of London, and the Stone Bridge. Dinner at the restaurant was delicious, and on top of that, all the staff were very friendly and helpful. For the reasons mentioned above, I would recommend this tour to family and friends wishing to visit London.

Tower of London and Bridge tickets were fantastic! The Criwn Jewels display with impressive. The self-guided tour was our style and there were also lots of posted information in addition to the video. The bridge was my daughter's favorite. The views from the bridge were amazing and the glass floor section was a fun surprise. Definitely a great experience.

Everything was very convenient, and the combo offered great savings. There was a bit of a line for the Tower of London, but it moved very smoothly. The wait to get in was about ten minutes. As for Headout, customer service was excellent and professional. I will definitely use the service again to buy more tickets.

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.
