I took this photo from the 35th floor of Sky Garden in London. The skyscraper is also known as the "Walkie Talkie" building because of its unique shape. When you get to the front of Sky Garden, 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 35th floor. Turn right through the doorway from the elevator and then take another right toward the windows in front of the stairs. I stood near one of the glass windows before the stairs, looking south toward the London Bridge and River Thames. By London Underground: - Closest station: Monument Station (via Circle or District line) - Head east on Eastcheap/A1213 toward Gracechurch St - Turn left onto Philpot Ln and the destination will be on your right Address: Sky Garden 20 Fenchurch St, London EC3M 8AF, UK
