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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
