    Amazing venue - just lovely. A couple of niggles though...

    The venue is just amazing... the views are fantastic, the atmosphere is buzzing and lively, and there's a great mix of people. It really is one of London's best bars and dining experiences and I'd completely recommend it to anyone. The food was great and...More

    Instead of the London eye

    That's what I recomend when someone ask me if it's worth to go to the Lonson eye! From the sky Garden you can see the London eye from above with a cocktail in your hand!

    great view

    we went to visit Sky garden in the morning. It was warm and sunny so the view was stunning. I recommend that this experience is for free - because the Shard is very expensive. I would visit Sky garden agian.

    Not that i could see - they are doing extensive bag searches but the Sky Garden itself is just a coffee shop and the viewing area so no dress code. The Darwin restaurant is slightly more upmarket but again no real dress code

    I believe that they allow walk-ins in the evening after (I think 8 pm), as there is a bar where you can get drinks from and sit looking out over London. However, there is no access out to the terrace in the evening or if it... More
