I never get tired of all the beautiful views in London. Even though it’s a sprawling metropolis, it’s still beautiful, and has a never-ending cluster of buildings, high and low, ancient and modern, with panoramic views that showcase the diverse architecture.
I sure love looking a city from all the multiple perspectives and viewpoints, so during our vacation in London, we made sure to head high and low to discover the best views of England’s capital.
When looking for the BEST views in London, you want a view that shows scenes of its unique skyline, which seamlessly blends historic buildings next to modern architecture, as well as The River Thames, an iconic river that winds through the city.
For a more enhanced view, some viewpoints offer glimpses of the many verdant parks and gardens, such as Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.
So if you’re looking for a place to admire the horizons of London, be sure to check out these places…

The Shard View is an expensive thing to do in London, but the 244m high sweeping London views make it worthwhile. You get a fantastic perspective of the Thames snaking through the city east to west.
To really feel just how high you are, look up to see how close the planes are flying overhead! (Not scary just WOW).

Aim for about an hour before sunset, so you can experience the dusk golden light views, sunset panoramic views, and nighttime views when those London lights sparkle.
There is a rooftop bar up here with seating areas, so grab your choice of cocktails, and relax. I’d walk around…
