What Travellers Say
Overall, a decent experience, but not quite as premium as I expected given the price of the VIP tickets. The space felt more compact than anticipated, which took away from the sense of exclusivity the ticket tier suggests. I also wasn’t a fan of the green screen photos included in the package — they felt a bit gimmicky and didn’t match the otherwise upscale branding. That said, the bar service was solid, and the daytime views were impressive. Worth visiting for the scenery, but the VIP experience itself didn’t fully justify the cost in my opinion.
Amazing views and great experience for a little of something different. We were 2 couples on a dine and view package. We enjoyed some bubbles whilst watching the daylight disappear exposing the fantastic city lights across iconic London scenes. We were there approximately 1 hour but it could have easily been longer. Highly recommend a visit.
Pre book a slot. A queue to get in as one passes through high security. The tickets are very pricey for essentially a short view, but the experience and views are stunning. A full 360° view of Greater London, all the way down to the North Downs in the South. Not too many people when we visited, so plenty of opportunities to get a snap and a good gaze. There is a bar and a small cafe to order from and the prices were pleasingly reasonable. Not inflated. Highly recommend if you can cope with heights and the floor upwards glass, and sheer drop below.
A fantastic viewing platform of London city! Two seperate levels of indoor and outdoor observatory tower you can see London in all directions! I was lucky to be there at the right time when the tower bridge lifted open for a ship! 🌁🌉 The way the architecture of the building look up close is so fascinating and it was awesome when you start seeing from afar until you walk up to it! Even the bathroom got an amazing view 🤩 🪟
Wow what an experience, the views from up there are amazing a full 360° view of London with many famous landmarks visable. Tour guides were fantastic telling many facts & figures. A visit to the bathroom is quite something else, go see for yourselves you won't be diappointed.

Fun Facts
A fox nicknamed Romeo was discovered on the 72nd floor towards the end of construction, apparently surviving on food left behind by workers.
The tower is engineered to move by 300–400mm in wind conditions expected only once every 50 years.
The foundations used top-down construction, a first for the UK; one 36-hour concrete pour required 700 lorry-loads and 5,400 cubic metres of concrete.
The exterior is wrapped in 11,000 glass panels, covering an area roughly equal to eight football pitches or two and a half Trafalgar Squares.
At the busiest stage of construction, 1,450 people from 60 countries were working on the build.
