Pros

  • Consider one of the free skyscraper views like Sky Garden - it's really good for a first visit although you need to be organised to get a ticket.
  • 4 weeks before your visit, book free tickets to visit the Sky Garden which offers excellent views of London.
  • Sky garden is always a popular one
  • sky garden, you should be able to grab a table for like 6pm. Just get a drink or a bar snack, you have full access to the view
  • Sky Garden has more atmosphere and more time to enjoy I would think than london eye timing - horizon 22 (visited last month) is empty office floor. I’ve visited Sky Garden many times and recommend it

Cons

  • Don’t assume you can just rock up at Sky Garden. Do you already have your ticket booked? Whilst free, they are difficult to get as they are made available 3 weeks beforehand each Monday.
  • The sky garden restaurant route was not worth it, I can confirm. Ended up paying an awful lot for average food.
  • Headed to **Sky Garden** for our free timed slot… only to find it closed (unpleasant surprise).
  • View from Sky Garden, prebooked time (nice, but much preferred Horizon 22’s superior views).
  • It's really not that exciting, I don't know why it's so famous.

Also take her up to the sky garden, get a free ticket in advance and sit and chill and see the view of London on all four sides including the open balcony.

Skip the London Eye if you're going to Sky Garden.
