Suggestions for Scenic Lookout near London

Tim O. • August 26, 2014Lovely views of the city from here. Can get very crowded on warm days. There's more to the Heath than Parliament hill. Take the time to explore.

Callum S. • May 16, 2010One of the best views in Richmond overlooking Petersham, Ham & the Thames. Good pubs that let you take glasses outside - gets VERY busy at weekends & on summer evenings though.

Patchx • December 7, 2020Beautiful, a must if you are visiting the London area

Andrew C. • August 24, 2018Wonderful waterfront space outside the Tower of London and Tower Bridge (best view of the bridge, too)... lots of seating aroundand few snack shops/cafes

Daniel M. • February 1, 2015Despite a rainy day, does have spectacular and different views of London. Worth a visit. Surprisingly good value coffee bar

Enzo M. • August 9, 2021Great views towards the North Bank and St Paul’s

Chris P. • March 9, 2019A lovely walk along the river, with great views of London landmarks. Can get extremely busy at weekends in good weather!

Ben J. • May 22, 2013Brilliant experience, very knowledgeable guide. It's not as hard as it looks so give it a go. (The final decent is great fun!!)

Natasha V. • March 8, 2018Stunning views of the city (free!) surrounded by excellent art.

Alexia K. • February 18, 2018Great especially on a sunny day. Bridge is by future systems and it’s an architectural gem

Amr A. • October 12, 2017Magnificent view from the top! Must do if u like such experiences. The staff was extremely nice and helpful.

Bianca B. • February 20, 2014Wonderful to walk, lovely woodland area in the middle of London. Makes you forget that you are in a big city :)

Robert T. • July 6, 2013Get here early with a picnic blanket to reserve a space!

Flave • April 27, 2019One of the best views in London. Use the telescope to see St Paul’s (a protected view) and the other way, TRY and see Windsor Palace. I tried, but I can’t no matter how clear the conditions!

charles r. • August 25, 2017Blends in well amongst the trees; interesting & informative - worth the extra effort to get up there

Matt T. • September 8, 2017Wonderful view out over London with loads of space for walks & picnics. The hill is not too steep, but provides a decent level of resistance for a challenging jog. It's popular with dog walkers.

Dave M. • September 12, 2015Take a moment to meditate and relax at the stunning pagoda. Vistas along the Thames are amazing.

J • September 16, 2012Magnificent view of london

Ben T. • January 3, 2018A good spot to watch the London NYE fireworks from, but get there at least an hour before to make sure you get a good place.

Gary H. • October 18, 2016The views here are amazing and best of all it's free entry! I came here during a weekday morning and there was not a tourist/visitor in sight. It's like your own private balcony.

Jack S. • March 28, 2024If you can't get tickets to visit here, then there's an equally good free indoor viewing platform next door, at the top of 8 Bishopsgate, called The Lookout. Pre-booking of tickets required.

Rick H. • November 26, 2013Worth the hike (528 steps) for a nice 360° view of the city.

Talal I. • December 30, 2018Thrilling experience. However, Fast Track is recommended due to the long queue in normal track. You'll also get 4D experience!

New York Habitat • March 22, 2012If you’re not averse to a little bit of exercise, be sure to climb to the top for a fantastic view of London! It’s certainly cheaper than the London Eye, and you get a great history lesson too.

Jon D. • June 13, 2019Great dog walking spot; fab little retro cafe.

Rick H. • November 26, 2013Nice hike (376 steps) for a good 360° view of the city.

Francesca G. • April 28, 2012The 007 martini cocktail is very good

Richard M. • July 18, 2014Best spotting place for heavies that are arriving on 27L and departing from 09R👌
