The Sky Garden: View from the Top of London's Walkie Talkie

No visit to London is complete without a trip to the top of the iconic Walkie Talkie Building for drinks and incredible 360-degree views of London. It’s touristy, it’s tacky, it’s crowded, and it’s absolutely unforgettable. If you can get there before sunset, you can watch the sun go down, and then dawdle with a rum punch while enjoying the sparkling lights of London at night.

The "Walkie Talkie Building" is actually 20 Fenchurch Street, a commercial skyscraper in the historic City of London financial district. It earned the nickname because of its distinctive shape, which resembles a two-way radio handset.

If you want to visit, it's free to enter the Sky Garden, but you need to book well in advance, at https://skygarden.london/. There's also a restaurant on a higher level that you can enjoy; visit https://skygarden.london/restaurant-bars/ for reservation information.
