[@LoremIpsum1970]

Better than the Shard. Thank you, Sinead. I haven't been there for a few years, but if I remember correctly, the reason why it's there and why it's free to enter to the public is because the Walkie-Talkie site was built on top of what was a public park, so the developer was told to replace the park and the free public access -- hence the sky garden! (just in case this all seemed strange to some)

[@francislo8610]

True, approval condition of the City of London

[@Sineadlondontourguide]

This is epic information had no idea thank you Sinead

[@tradjazzer]

thank you so much Sinead for a wonderful tour of the 20 Fenchurch Street building. It brings back memories of when I worked in the City of London, first place 1was St. Mary Axe, then Moorgate where I worked as a Fire underwriter for a major insurance company; when I was young, in the years 1957 to about 1966. I lived in south east London in those times; then moved to Bexley Heath ( Kent ) . I am 81 years old now and live in Clacton on Sea. Essex. All your videos are very interesting. keep on making that type of video.

We visited in August this year but you definitely have to plan ahead! Tickets are released 3 weeks out so I booked online in Australia (it took about 5 hours of trying). I eventually booked the tickets at 1am Australian time and, by then, all the "popular" time slots were gone. However, our booked time of 3.30pm was fine - the view was still spectacular and the gin and tonic at the bar was perfect on a hot August afternoon. We arrived early and were let straight in - no queueing at all. I wonder if that was because of the timeslot.

I can't recommend this enough. A free attraction with fantastic views. If you cant get tickets, go at 10am for a walk in. I've done it myself and funnily enough walked in past ticket holders, so much for 'be prepared'. You can eat there as long as you are willing to sell a body part.

Worth noting that tickets are released for the entire week at once and go on sale on the Monday three weeks prior. So if you plan to visit on a Friday, tickets will go on sale on the Monday three weeks and 4 days before that Friday. Hope that makes sense.
