Visit the Sky Garden!

London’s highest public garden is free to visit, although you do need to book in advance to soak up the views – unsurprisingly tickets to the Sky Garden get snapped up at weekends and you’ll need ID, so plan ahead.

Not far from Monument station, the garden sits at the top of the skyscraper Londoners know as the Walkie Talkie building.

With a covered terrace, you can get some amazing views across to the Shard, St Paul’s, Tower Bridge and along the Thames during your hour slot.
