About Sky Garden London - 20 Fenchurch Street

London's Highest Public Garden with Free Entry & Dining

What is Sky Garden?

Sky Garden is a unique public space that spans three storeys and offers 360-degree uninterrupted views across the city. Visitors can enjoy the views from the observation deck, dine in one of the restaurants or grab a drink in Sky Garden's exclusive bars.

Located at the top of 20 Fenchurch Street (otherwise known as the 'Walkie Talkie' building), the garden features beautifully landscaped gardens, observation decks, and an open-air terrace.

Designed by award-winning architects, the space brings together nature and modern architecture to create a stunning urban oasis 155 metres above London.
