Boasting a rather obscene number of giant buildings, it should come as no surprise that London boasts the title of being home to the highest free viewing platform in all of Europe.
But will that lack of surprise stop us from scaling up the 58 floors of 22 Bishopsgate – the second-highest building in the city after the Shard – for a gaze out over the skyline? Almost definitely not.
Since it’s free and all, many have had the same attitude about Horizon 22, the new vantage point for stargazers and keen Instagrammers alike, which beamed up its high-speed lift (41 seconds up to the top, to be precise) back in September.
Views at Horizon 22 look right out across the city – and again, it costs NOTHING to visit! It’s one of the more cost-effective ways to dramatically plan our protection of the city as we gaze out over it. All you’ll need to spend money on is that suit and batmobile.
How do I visit Horizon 22?
Well… all you need to do is book a free ticket. No, really, that’s it. Just head to the Horizon 22 website, and then head on up to the stars! Well… almost the stars.
The views from here rival even the likes of Sky Garden, which is known to be full to the brim with free bookings. Be sure to keep that in mind when planning your visit; the demand is likely to be high.
Views from 58 levels up at Horizon 22 are available seven days a week, all year round (excluding Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve), and a small number of walk-in spots are also made available each day. So you might not even need to book – if you’re in the area, just rock up and ask nicely!
Horizon 22 is open now, with bookings here . It is open between 10am-6pm on weekdays, 10am-5pm on Saturdays, and 10am-4pm on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
