Have you ever wanted to see London from above? Well, there is a way you can for free.

London has one of the most impressive skylines in the world, blending glass skyscrapers with Tudor buildings and Victorian Stone that all seemingly work together.

While there are several ways that you can see London from above, they tend not to be free.

However, there is one viewing platform way up in the clouds you can visit for free and see London from high above.

@jessicaxviana 32/100 ✨ this NEW viewpoint in London is not only the tallest in the city but it’s Europe’s highest free public viewing gallery! Up on the 58th floor, the way up may make your ears pop, but it will take you to one if the most fascinating 200-degree views over East, South, and West London. ✍🏻 To visit on a particular date, you need to book a free ticket through the website - tickets become available 60 days prior. If you didn’t book a ticket, you can check the website on the day and tickets may become available for the same day. You can also try to go as a walk-in and may be welcomed to go in if there’s availability (but bear in mind weekends will be busier so you may be luckier during the week) ✍🏻 Location: Horizon 22 , 22 Bishopsgate EC2N 4AJ #londonfreeactivities #freethingstodoninlondon #horizon22 #horizon22b #horizon22london #londonfreethingstodo #visitlondon #londontravel #travellondon #londonactivities ♬ Can You Hear The Music - Ludwig Göransson

'I tried out London’s highest viewing gallery and the view was incredible'

One person described the view as "spectacular", sharing: "We hadn't booked but were lucky enough to get in as soon as we arrived at 11am on a Monday.

"The views are spectacular. Having previously been to The Shard we were expecting the viewing area to be similar with refreshment areas, but there was just one kiosk type cafe and a few basic tables and chairs, which was fine for us."

Another visitor added: "The view was very good, it was all free and the staff were very helpful, it wasn’t too busy and was easily accessible and overall was a great experience."
