London from way up high

From way up high, London is breathtakingly spectacular. And if you’re like me, you absolutely love a high rise view. In this category, London excels, with an incredible number diverse observation platforms spread throughout the city. Here's what you'll see in this observation platform guide: Battersea Power Station, The Shard, the Walkie Talkie, The Lookout at 8 Bishopsgate, Horizon 22 at 22 Bishopsgate, the Tate Modern, St. Paul's Cathedral, The Garden at 120, One New Change, the Trafalgar St. James, the London Eye, the London Cable Cars and the ArcelorMittal Orbit tower at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. I'll tell what the viewing experience is like at each one. All that, plus a quick look at the O2 dome climb, Tower Bridge, the Monument to the Great Fire of London and the Parliament Hill Viewpoint.

Plus, visit the bar where Bond's "shaken, not stirred" martini was created, grab a bite at the Cafe in the Crypt or a pint at the Sherlock Holmes pub and take a sunset spin on the London Eye.
