The day my friend and I visited the Sky Garden we encountered every kind of weather – from sunshine to snow. While looking out from the top of the tower we watched the sky change as clouds drifted in and snow hurtled down. We couldn’t believe it as earlier on the sun had been shining and the sky was blue.
It was April 2016 and the Sky Garden had been open since January 2015. It is the highest public garden with 360 degree views across London. The venue is free to visit, but you do need to book in advance.
The garden terraces are planted with South African and Mediterrenean species that are drought resistant. If you wish, you can book a table at the restuarant, or there is a small cafe for the casual refreshment.
The garden is situated at number 20 Fenchurch Street in London and is surrounded by other tall buildings, making it rather photogenic!
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit with its surprising array of plants and flowers on the terraces, as well as the fantastic view you get across London. When London opens up again, I’d recommend a visit. It’s not often you get to see such a wonderful place like this for free. Enjoy the lift ride too!
