Unhappy. We have been charged 5 times!! (£74.00!!!) And only parked for 6 hours!!…read more We only noticed because we saw the charges on our bank account statement whilst checking for something else. If this is a "mistake" (we have emailed car.parks@cityoflondon.gov.uk seeking clarification) then how many others are being charged stealth charges?? I (sometimes) work at the Tower of London, and will be notifying friends and colleagues about this. I will return to this comment once we have heard from Minories. Dennis

Sky gardens is a fun way to start a day of seeing some of the local London attractions - especially…read moreas you get amazing views of them all from up high at Londons highest garden! Located at the top of 20 Femchurch street - you can make free reservations on line! That said, I can usually be relied on to mess up the details and somehow managed to make a review for the end of July but they were very gracious and told me as you are here - you can come in anyways which was nice of them. A quick elevator ride to the top opens to reveal stunning views of London! You can 360 views of landmarks like Tower Bridge, London Bridge, St. Paul's, the Thames and so much more . You can circle around with pretty landscaping inside but the views are obviously the star of the show! It does get quite busy so know to expect crowds and on hot days like today, it's a large human greenhouse so was definitely toasty! They have a full restaurant as well as a cafe serving coffees, snacks and cocktails. A fun way to get some epic views of London and free to boot!!

I saw many recommendations for Sky Garden when doing research for my trip to London, and I can say…read morethat it's well deserved. You really can't beat a free observation deck. Though Sky Garden is free, you still need to book a timed reservation in advance...as in, right when they release the dates 3 weeks in advance. They will run out pretty quickly even if you wait a few days, especially if you're going during busy season. I saw that the reservation is good for one hour, but honestly, they didn't check when I went so they might not be strict on that depending on the crowd level. I went in about 20 minutes early because I wasn't doing anything. You'll check in and go through security. Then you'll get in an elevator to the top. My reservation was at 10:00am, so I got through the initial line and security quickly, but I imagine it would be a long wait later in the day. The view out is great, and there's a balcony so you can take pictures outside. I think the interior architecture was the highlight though along with the greenery. There's so much natural light that gets in the room. It would have been amazing to go during sunset, but that didn't fit in with my plans. Luckily, the view in the morning was good, and the sunny weather was on my side. They have a cafe and a restaurant there. Though overpriced, I still got a flat white to sip on while I took in the views. Overall, I spent about an hour at a slow pace. You definitely don't need that much time, so if you have the chance to visit, it's definitely worth it. Only issue was the line to go back down took longer than expected since people don't maximize elevator space.

While trying to plan our trip to London and seeking out places we wanted to visit - Leadenhall…read morepopped up as a place to visit and it is absolutely worth it It is a covered market, and known for a couple of reasons, namely being one of the oldest markets in London and it has served as the inspiration for Diagon Alley as well as being featured in several movies! And for good reason, the quaintness and charm of the architecture is rather marvelous. There are plenty of eating, drinking and shopping options in the area and I appreciated the mix of tourists, locals and workers from the nearby financial district. But most of all the charm of the market makes this a must visit while in London!

We walked around and there were a lot of god food options. We took some pictures and saw the Harry Potter filming location and Wonka inspiration. We spent about an hour there as the market is small, but we all got different food from various places. There is no community seating so we brought food from one restaurant to another and no one seemed to care. I would recommend this for those who want to feel like they have been taken to another land.

There was a guided tour starting right when we entered, but we did the audio tour on our own. I had also prepaid for a kids's book that we picked up at the gift shop. I wouldn't get it again if I had a redo. We also picked up our audio guides, which were included in the price of admission. This was great as it had a kids program and the guided map let us pick and choose what path we wanted to take. We chose to hit the highlights, which takes 90 minutes and we ended up being there for 2 hours. The line for the crown jewels wan't too bad and was the highlight of the visit. They also had live shows in the common area that the kids loved.

Beefeaters Tour. That's all…read more The crown jewels are beautiful to see, but my favorite part of the Tower of London was the free Beefeaters Tour. I recommend heading to the Tower of London right when they open because it gets busy, even on weekdays. I was not prepared for the amount of crowds I would encounter. At 9AM, we went straight to the Crown Jewels. No photos are allowed inside. After 10:30AM, there is already a line to enter. We went straight to the first Beefeaters Tour at 10AM. The tour is normally for a group of 50 people, but there was no one taking a headcount when we arrived and our group went over 50 people. The tour was informative and hilarious. I would recommend the Tower of London for the Beefeaters Tour alone.
