"Sky Garden offers stunning views of the city of London and includes a landscaped garden, terraces and restaurants."

"Nice spot to visit if you want to enjoy the picturesque views of London while having a pricey drink at the bar."
"Stunning 360 views of the city, it's directly opposite the shard too!"

"The Cafe shop is reasonably priced but don't expect a great coffee."
"The Sky Garden is clearly marketed at those who have money to spend at the bar, restaurants and for special occasions."
"You have to show tickets outside to several guards, then you have to talk to someone at a reception, then you go through high security like an airport."
Booking and Accessibility
Pros:
"Great experience to enjoy in London, but booking in advance is a must."
"Trying to get the free tickets is very tough because of limited numbers that get released, but I worked very hard at it to get them."
"Best to make booking ahead of time; otherwise you may have to queue for a long time."
"A free-entry space offers a stunning 360-degree view of London from the 36th floor."
"Our booked time was for 10 am but we were allowed up at 9:30."
"A little gem at the walkie talkie building in London. You have to book entrance tickets a few weeks in advance, it’s free and definitely worth the wait."
"A place to visit for tourists to enjoy the panoramic view of London from this place. It’s FREE. Plan your visit in advance and Book your tickets online accordingly."
"As of November 2023, free timed entry tickets are released 3 weeks in advance on Monday mornings."
Cons:
"Sky Garden often refers to the Hanging Garden, a public space located at the top. It is recommended to purchase tickets in advance if you cannot wait in long lines."
"Not sure why we got timed tickets. We got there and still had to Q."
"During our layover in London, I meticulously planned our visit to a renowned attraction, securing tickets a month in advance."
"Sky Garden offers free admission, but the timeslot and capacity is limited, so it's not easy to book tickets in advance."
"Highly recommended for some of the best views of London; in all honesty I much prefer the views from here rather than The Shard, which I feel is grossly overpriced."
"The Sky Garden is free to enter, but only allow so many people in. You can book tickets online before arrival using their website."
"Firstly, I underestimated the queue. I was surprised that many people wanted to see the gardens. By the way, you have to book online in advance and bring your ticket with you."
"I don’t usually write reviews but the service we received from the staff in Darwin Brasserie yesterday was so good I felt compelled to come back and say thank you."
