Get above London before anyone else at the Sky Garden. Wander the glass-domed terraces among tropical plants with a pastry and coffee in hand, taking in near-empty views of the Thames and St Paul's.
Reasons to go
Full description
The Sky Garden's glass-domed terraces sit high above the City with tropical planting and open views toward the Thames and St Paul's, and while general admission is free, timed tickets sell out quickly online; this early-access slot with breakfast included is a more reliable way in. Arriving before the wider public means the gallery is close to empty, which matters for a view this popular.
At just an hour and a modest price, it's an efficient way to get one of the city's best panoramas without a full-day commitment.
