We went for an afternoon tea and everything was superb (apart from the smoked salmon, but that’s just because I am a picky eater!). Staff is absolutely incredible! Excellent service! The place is beautiful, food is great… Lovely hostess allowed us to the top floor for some pictures. I’m already planning my next visit!

Great building. The views from the bar on the 40th floor are nice. They were so much better long before all of the new buildings in the area were built. It’s a bit drowned out now 😏 It’s in a great location for travel connections and lots of local bars and night clubs. Make sure you get a reservation for the bar if you want go see the views. Security is airport style! Metal detector arch and big X-ray machine. Very safe

One of the amazing structure in London. You can visit the restaurants on top floor of this building to see the view of the city. This building, along with the other neighbouring buildings are the best example of modern and medieval architecture of London.

The Gherkin, otherwise known as 30 St Mary Axe, is one of the capital's most famous buildings. It's a feature of the London skyline and home to offices, a restaurant and a cocktail bar. Very interesting design of buildings, not the only one in this area. The Gherkin is 180 metres (591 ft) tall. Towering 41 floors above the City of London, The Gherkin looks magnificent at any time of the day, but it’s particularly dazzling when lit up at night. Not far away from Sky garden, recommend to visit and enjoy the area. The Gherkin isn’t normally open to the public but you can visit Helix restaurant and Iris bar, which are located on the top floors and have amazing panoramic views across the City of London.
