Experience the Best Panoramic Views of London

The beautiful city of London is perhaps best seen from a height, where you can view the main sites such as Westminster, St Paul’s and Buckingham Palace all at the same time.  If you fancy a heavenly view of this gorgeous city, we’ve rounded up some of the very best locations for you to view life far down below.

The View from the Shard

The newest addition to London’s skyline, the Shard tears through the sky like… well, a shard of glass! Beautiful, unusual, striking, and above all else – tall – the Shard can offer you some of the most incredible views of London. It’s the highest viewing point in Western Europe and provides some exhilarating 360 degree views across 40 miles of London.

If you’re looking for the best deal, then get Shard tickets from AttractionTix where you are guaranteed the best prices. With AttractionTix, two kids go FREE with every paying adult! ”The View” is situated on Levels 68, 69 and 72, and sits at nearly twice the height of any other viewing platform in London, so it definitely tops our list.

The London Eye

The biggest observation wheel in Europe is as popular now as it has ever been, and offers terrific views of Westminster and the City of London. Book a private capsule for your friends or family and have London all to yourselves, or squeeze in with the tourists and get ready to cram together for picture time! Whichever appeals more, the best time to go on the Eye is just before twilight, so you can experience the city transforming from day to night right before your eyes.

St Paul’s Cathedral

As impressive as it ever was, head up to the Whispering Gallery and step outside to find yourself on the dome of St Paul’s itself. Don’t get dizzy as you ascend the many steps to get there! However, the view itself is well worth the climb, and you’ll be standing on one of the most historic buildings that London has to offer.

Up at the O2

Climb on top of London’s most popular entertainment venue and get ready to be amazed. From the viewing platform in the centre of the roof, experience a 90 minute expedition across the top of the O2. Enjoy the stunning panoramic views before plummeting down to the ground once again.

The Tower Bridge Exhibition

Not as tall but still impressive, stand 42 metres above the River Thames as you walk across the iconic walkway of Tower Bridge. Learn about the history of the bridge and enjoy the exhibition almost as much as you’ll enjoy the wonderful views it offers of some of London’s most famous landmarks.

If you have a head for heights and love a good view, then these top panoramic pics will not disappoint you. Take your camera and a deep breath before you look down!
