Sky Garden London: a place you can't miss

If you are on vacation in London , even for a few days, the Sky Garden is not to be missed. The reason is that it is accessed for free, FREE . We know that our brain reacts positively to the "zero price model" . So where's the scam? None. By following the whole booking process (1 minute clock) you can reach this place. The fact that it is free to go up there does not mean that you cannot find anything on it, is the opposite.
So much so that once you go up there I think you will stay a long time (the maximum time is one hour). Because on the top you'll find a lot of things to do and see.

Sky Garden London: what's on the top

Sky Pod Bar

It is the first bar that you see as soon as you rise above it, with a circular shape. Very nice because it stands out right in the center of this huge room all glazed. As soon as I went up I felt a feeling of width and space. Although the place is indoors, it gives you the feeling of being outdoors because it is glazed. This affects giving a sense of freedom .

Sky Garden London view

Exactly in front of the bar there is the terrace from which to admire the view. I first show you some photos to make you understand better.
As you can see, the view is just on the Thames from the 35th floor and in front of the Sky Garden there is " The Shard ". Pyramid-shaped building very well known in London for its view. In addition to obviously having bars and restaurants at its peak.
In the London skyline one thing that never fails is Tower Bridge . Here too, from the Sky Garden you can see the most suggestive bridge in London. I think visiting Tower Bridge is a must do in London, you can't miss it!

City Garden bar

The City Garden Bar is a space for drinking and eating all day, with spectacular views of the city. Guests who enter in the evening can access it without a reservation. For safety I advise you to always consult the site. After I enclose it for the booking and the times.

Fenchurch Restaurant

Contemporary British menus. This is what the restaurant proposes. The rooftop restaurant in Fenchurch could be an experience. I personally haven't been there.

Darwin Brasserie

As I have not been to the Brasserie, another place to eat.

Honestly, before I went up to the Sky Garden I had already had breakfast at the Duck & Waffle . So I honestly took "nu bellù cafè" (a nice coffee we would say in Naples). I have to tell really good, strictly "espresso" .

Sky Garden London prices

So on balance the climb to the Sky Garden with many beautiful photos that I took cost me £ 2 (price of the coffee) . In addition to the cafe, the bar in front of the terrace has a menu with several things. The prices are fair in my opinion. Not cheap but not excessive. What is certain, if you go there even for a coffee to see the view, £ 2 will not change your life.

Sky Garden London booking: how and when?

No more folks, I think you would like to know how and especially when to book . Quite right? As usual I will make some premises on the reservation:

  • Online (also because it takes 1 minute)
  • In advance

Book online because London is a smart city. Here everything works through online booking, apps, emails and whoever has more. London is the city of the contactless. I have not seen a pound in paper form, zero, nothing.
Book in advance because the Sky Garden, just because it's free, it's very popular. So if you have plans to go to London I recommend you to book before the departure . Know that in the event, the ticket can be canceled (up to a few hours before).

How to get to Sky Garden

As I have already explained in some articles, to move around London there is an embarrassment of choice. London is a smart city in every sense, even as regards transport!
At the Sky Garden in London there is a tendency to arrive or via bus or tube which are the most used means.

  • The nearest tube station is 5 minutes walk from the Sky Garden, and it is “Monument”
  • The nearest bus station, instead, are: Fenchurch Street (Stop M o U) or Monument

I recommend using your map app (if you have an iphone) or google maps if android. They will give you all the information to be able to move without having to download any app.

The Walkie Talkie building London: curiosities about the Sky Garden

As you can see from the image one thing is understood. And that is that the shape of the building where the Sky Garden is located is a little different from the "normal".
Not randomly the building that houses the Sky Garden has the nickname "Walkie Talkie" . If you notice, it actually looks like one of those "things". And it is also one of the buildings that immediately stands out by observing the London skyline.
