Overview & Visitor Introduction
Sky Garden sits across the top three floors of 20 Fenchurch Street — the skyscraper nicknamed 'the Walkie-Talkie' for its distinctive bulging shape — and is free to visit, unlike London's other major viewpoints.
The catch is that a timed-entry ticket must still be booked in advance through Sky Garden's own website, since there's no walk-up entry without one; slots are released on a rolling basis up to three weeks ahead and popular times sell out quickly.
Beyond the public garden ticket, 20 Fenchurch Street also houses several restaurants and bars — a reservation at one of these gives access without needing a separate free garden ticket.
What to See: Top Highlights
Landscaped sky-high garden
Terraced planting across the top three floors of the building, around 155 metres above street level.
360-degree City views
Free panoramic views over the Thames, Tower Bridge, the Shard and the City of London skyline.
Restaurants & bars
Darwin Brasserie, Fenchurch Restaurant and Sky Garden's bars all sit within the same space, bookable separately from the free garden ticket.
