15 OF THE BEST VIEWS IN LONDON (FROM ABOVE AND BELOW)

Even though I would not like living in a city where the views are a never-ending cluster of buildings, high and low, ancient and modern, I sure love looking at it from all the multiple perspectives and viewpoints during our vacation in London. 

During our 10 day trip to London, we experienced what we think are some of the best views in London. 

The Shard

The Shard View is an expensive thing to do in London, but the 244m high sweeping London views make it worthwhile. You get a fantastic perspective of the Thames snaking through the city east to west. 

The London Eye

I was worried the London Eye would be an over-hyped tourist attraction. It wasn’t. The panoramic views of London from here are phenomenal. 

Known as the Walkie Talkie building for its shape, it is currently the 5th tallest building in the city of London at 160m tall. I love how it faces the Shard on the North side of the Thames. 

Sky Garden

The Garden at 120 Fenchurch St

120 Fenchurch St is another high rise in London with a sky garden and an impressive 360-degree views. You get fantastic views of the Sky Garden from here, so we could kind of pretend we went there. 

St Paul’s Cathedral

Not only is St Paul’s an exquisite architectural gem, a London icon and top attraction worth visiting, it’s also a place to get a magnificent view of London.
