Whether you’re paying for admission to an observation deck or a rooftop bar, going to the top of a skyscraper in any major city will probably cost you money. For the most part, London is no exception.
Many people go to The Shard, a 1,016-foot skyscraper with panoramic views of the city. Tickets start at £32, or about $44.
However, visitors can get a similarly fantastic view at the Sky Garden, which is right across the River Thames from The Shard. London’s highest public garden offers some of the best views of the city’s skyline and comes complete with an indoor garden, restaurants, and bars. The best bit? Entry is free.
Time slots for Sky Garden can book up quickly, so plan ahead if you want to see the breathtaking views.
