How to get there

N51° 30' 48.0024"W0° 05' 24.6552"
The image was taken on the second terrace of the Coq D'Argent restaurant roof facing south toward The Shard. To get to the roof terrace, you'll need to walk along Poultry St and look for the Bucklersbury Passage which will be on the left hand side going underneath the building. Here, you'll find two small lifts that will take you up to the terrace. When you get to the top of the restaurant, you can speak to a member of staff who will show you the gate to get on to the second roof terrace. Sometimes the gate can be locked, so they can access it for you. By London Underground: - Closest station: Bank (via Central, Northern and Waterloo & City) - Walk west on Mansion House St until it turns into Poultry and head into the Bucklersbury Passage
