About Sky Garden
Sky Garden is London’s highest public garden—35 floors up and totally free! Wander among tropical plants, soak up skyline views, and enjoy a calm, family-friendly break from city crowds. It’s fully accessible, great for all ages, and ideal for a chilled coffee, selfie or sky-high adventure.
Top tip from the KidRated Team:
Tickets often go fast, especially during school holidays. If you don’t manage to book ahead, walk-ups are sometimes accepted in the evening. Or grab a family meal at Darwin Brasserie and enjoy the views without a general ticket.
