Sky Garden Observation Deck view of The Shard & River Thames

The image was taken on the terrace of the Sky Garden in the Walkie Talkie building with a south-facing view of the River Thames and The Shard. Tickets to the Sky Garden are free, but you must book in advance in order to gain entry. Check out the website for more information on booking: https://skygarden.london/booking. When you get to the front of the building, walk through the main entrance where you'll be greeted by staff and asked to go through a quick airport-style security check in. Then, you'll be escorted into one of two elevators that will take you to the terrace floor. Coming out of the lift, you'll find the terrace directly in front of you through the revolving doors where I stood, facing south.
