It is Europe's highest free public viewing gallery. It offers 300 degree panoramic views of London from 254 metres. You can enjoy amazing view on London through the glass windows. You can order tickets on the official website. Standard tickets are completely free of charge. P.S. I try to share specific information. If the review was useful, put 👍. I don't get any "goodies", but other tourists will see this review first. Have a good mood and exciting travels!🌍☀️🪂

Seriously such a cool place ! the views are insane and the vibes are so good. we absolutely loved it. There's a cute little spot with amazing cakes and drinks, and plenty of space to sit. the staff were also super welcoming and friendly. we got so lucky and managed to grab last minute spots, but honestly standing on the roof of london at the highest point was just incredible. definitely recommend !

I just visited Horizon 22 for the first time, and wow… I am completely speechless! As a normal guy who just wanted a nice view of the city, this absolutely blew me away. The View: I’ve done the London Eye before and thought that was high, but Horizon 22 is on a completely different level. You are up so high that the London Eye actually looks small from up there! You get a full, crystal-clear view of the entire city stretching out for miles. The Experience: The lift ride up is super fast, and the moment you step out and see the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, your jaw just drops. The whole place is clean, modern, and very well laid out. The Best Part: Unlike other famous view spots in London that charge a fortune, this incredible experience is completely free (you just have to book a ticket in advance). If you want the absolute best view of London without the massive London Eye pricetag, you have to check out Horizon 22. It is an unforgettable experience

The experience is well organized, with high-speed lifts, spacious viewing areas, and a café where you can enjoy a coffee while taking in the scenery. Best of all, entry is completely free, although advance booking is recommended due to its popularity. Located on the 58th floor of 22 Bishopsgate, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of London from 254 metres above the city, making it London's highest free viewing platform. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows provide stunning views of landmarks such as Tower Bridge, The Shard, St. Paul's Cathedral, and the River Thames. If you're looking for an unforgettable London skyline experience without the hefty ticket price of other observation decks, Horizon 22 is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended! 🌆✨

If you visit in the morning outside the free entry hours, you have to pay £15, which includes a simple coffee, tea, or juice. Despite the fee, it’s still well worth it, as there are far fewer people around and you can enjoy almost the entire floor to yourself for as long as you like. We stayed for about an hour and never felt rushed. It was a much more relaxed experience than visiting during the free hours, when the crowds can be overwhelming.
