Many people go to The Shard, a 1,016-foot multiuse skyscraper with panoramic views of the city. Tickets start at £28, or about $37.
But visitors can get a similarly fantastic view at the Sky Garden, which is right across the River Thames from The Shard. London's highest public garden offers some of the best views of the city's skyline and comes complete with an indoor garden, restaurants, and bars. The best bit? Entry is free.
If you have no intention of walking down or climbing an escalator, make sure you stand on the right side. That way, those who don't want to stand still have the option to pass you on the left, keeping you from running into a scorned Londoner.
One common misconception about London is that it always rains - which isn't entirely wrong, but it also isn't exactly correct either. The reality is that you need to prepare for all four seasons, regardless of the time of year.
