I was last in London last September, from the 12th to the 20th. One of my favourite stops on this trip was Horizon 22. You typically have to pre-book your free ticket, but I happened by at the right time and got in with no booking.
Nestled high above the city at the top of 22 Bishopsgate in London, Horizon 22 offers an atmospheric escape into the skies and a fresh lens on the capital’s skyline. Located on Level 58, this sleek viewing platform boasts 300-degree views across London’s most iconic landmarks — all reached in just 41 seconds via high-speed lifts.
The moment you step out from the lift and onto the gallery, you’re greeted with sweeping vistas: from the shimmering glass of the Shard to the historic spires of St Paul’s Cathedral, and the meandering Thames threading its way through the city. With panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, Horizon 22 makes it easy for visitors—whether seasoned photographers or spontaneous travellers—to compose remarkable shots and soak in the urban panorama.
In short: if you’re in London and want to elevate your view (literally), Horizon 22 delivers a memorable vantage point, photo-friendly environment, and a unique way to appreciate the skyline from above. Be sure to book ahead and pick a crisp, clear day for optimal visibility!
