1. Sky Garden
Amazingly, it's free! Yup, you can just walk up to the 35th floor of the Walkie Talkie building to enjoy 360 views of the city, BUT it is strongly recommended that you book your tickets online first. Living up to its name, there's a nice bit of garden up here and also cafes for you to buy a cuppa and just relax on the sofas as you continue to ooh and ahh over the splendid views.
2. Hampstead Heath
An ancient heath spanning over 320 hectares, it's a great place for a walk and/or a picnic. Some really famous people live/have lived here, but the highlight of course is the amazing views from Parliament Hill.
3. Primrose Hill
From Camden Market, you can just walk up to Primrose Hill. On the way to the park and lookout point, you can check out various cute and quaint shops in the area. Then, just sit back, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy captivating views.
4. Greenwich
The easiest way to get where you need to be is hopping on the DLR and get off at the Cutty Sark station. Then, just take a leisurely stroll to Greenwich Park, and uphill to the Royal Observatory. You won't be disappointed.
5. Tower Bridge
For GBP16, you get access to the Tower Bridge exhibition, the engine rooms, and also to the glass floors which are 42m above sea level. If you're not a fan of "walking on air", just skip this bit and take in the spectacular sights waiting for you.
