View and Atmosphere
Pros:
"Enjoy a 360-degree view of the city skyline, making it the perfect spot for unforgettable photos and memories."
"Loved that we got to do this on our trip to London. Beautiful views of the city! A wonderful little surprise."
"The views are amazing and the atmosphere is really chill."
"The atmosphere was serene, and the garden was both beautiful and immaculately maintained."
"It’s a beautifully maintained garden with three hundred and sixty degree panoramic views of London."
"Lots of space to walk around and enjoy the 360 degree views, while never feeling crowded."
"Beautiful scenic views of the city of London from the rooftop garden."
"Fantastic views and experience had here. Great space to relax."
Cons:
"It would be much nicer in the summer season."
"Would be great if you could find a quiet corner and read a book or have some lunch. Views are absolutely spectacular and it's free, most importantly."
"The garden section is minimal and underwhelming so this is all about the view."
"It's refreshing to have such a beautiful view of London free of charge. A little bit of a queue to get in but worth the wait."
"The glass panel is to thin and the height to low so the security of safety is in danger."
"The only reasons I can't give 5 stars are the glass needs to be spotless otherwise taking pictures in sunlight etc are just going to be a fail."
Accessibility and Entry
Pros:
"Totally free! Quick security check and fast ride up."
"It's completely free to access, but you might have to queue at ground level for 10min to go through the security checks."
"Our visit to this place was truly delightful. We arrived on a Saturday morning and patiently waited about 20 minutes for the elevator."
"It’s free to enter and usually no queue if you go weekday off-peak."
"Free entrance, toilets, great accessibility with lifts."
"No booking required. Free. We went on Monday about 11 o’clock. There wasn’t a queue. Fast security check."
"It's free! You just have to get your bags checked and then take the elevator to the roof."
"You do not need a reservation there. There was short quake to entrance, a lift took us on 15 floor to the garden terrace."
Cons:
"Be prepared to go through a security check before getting on the lift where it took me around 45 minutes (summer/school holiday)."
"The only downside is it's a bit of a wait in the lift queue."
"Make sure though on a weekend you equip yourself during peak times with a bit of patience to wait in the queue to get on the elevator."
"Queued for 25 mins to get in. They did a bag search using machine light at the airport."
"This is way better than going to Sky Garden for free and having to get tickets a lot in advance or than paying for the Shard."
"Security at the bottom before you go up the elevator is very straightforward, no metals and electronics allowed through the metal detector."
"There was hardly any queue, as we went through security to the lift and all the staff were so polite."
Facilities and Services
Pros:
"Place have nice bar and cafe as well as clean toilet facilities."
"There is a small deli on the floor below serving coffee and pastries and a pricy restaurant, which I would only really consider for a treat or celebration."
"Great free visit at The Garden at 120. Very friendly staff, toilets and restaurant on site and great views of the city."
"The bar down stairs (14 Hills) is plush and friendly also, worth checking out for sure."
"On level 14 there is a cafe where you can purchase food and drink, including wines and beers."
"The restaurant is downstairs to the right (the atmosphere and decoration looked really nice)."
"There is a restaurant as well. A little garden in the middle."
"There is a small cafe on the 14th floor."
Cons:
"Would be nice to have a cafe or restaurant on the top."
"The restaurant attached is amazing too and has a wonderful selection of food and wines at a reasonable (for London) price."
"They probably had to have a public garden in order to get planning permission but that person makes sure to spoil the experience for any commoner who dares adventure into the land of the privileged."
"The only downside is there is no cafe or restaurant on the top. There is a tiny coffee stand with a few cold and hot drinks though."
"However the rest of the panorama are stunning, Staff super friendly, I need to come back on a winter afternoon after sunset to see the lights on over London."
