Der er mange spots i London hvor du kan få en suveræn udsigt
over byen. Det er for eksempel på toppen af London Eye eller udsigten fra The Shard.
Hvis du dog leder efter et synspunkt der er gratis, anbefaler jeg at tage til Sky
Garden ved 20 Fenchurh Street hvilket er et unikt offentligt sted, der strækker
sig over tre etager og tilbyder 360 graders fri udsigt over byen af London. Sky
Garden er designet til at danne et åbent og livlig sted der tilbyder besøgende
en sjælden chance for at opleve London fra et anderledes synspunkt. Som nævnt
tidligere er adgang til Sky Garden gratis, men vær venligst opmærksom på at
pladser er begrænset og besøgende må booke på forhånd gennem deres hjemmeside. Dem
der træder ind til Sky Garden med en gyldig billet vil gå igennem deres
sikkerhedssystem og vil derefter blive henledt til elevatoren der vil tage dem
hele vejen op til 35. etage.
Mad og drikke er til at købe i Sky Gardens restauranter, dog
er booking muligvis nødvendigt og priserne kan være en smule høje for visse
personer. Vi valgte at tage til Borough Market hvilket er beliggende ikke så
langt fra Walkie-Talkie bygningen selv. Borough Market ligger i hjertet af
central London og er derfor let tilgængeligt med tog, tube, bus, cykel eller på
fod. Jeg har besøgt Borough Market før, og det er muligvis en af mine favorit mad
markeder at tage til – selvom jeg nok også siger det til mange andre markeder.
Borough Market er et hav af farver, dufte og menneskelig engagement, og som
Londons ældste mad markeder har det serveret for indbyggerne af Southwark for
over 1,000 år og det ekstraordinære kulturarv er derfor en vigtig del af deres
appeal.
For en skøn dag i London anbefaler jeg dig at besøge Sky
Garden for en time samt have frokost i Brough Market enten før eller efter dit
besøg.
// There
are many spots in London where you can get a great view over the city. These
are for example at the very top of the London Eye or at the view from The
Shard. However, if you are looking for a viewpoint that is free of charge, I
would recommend you to go to The Sky Garden at 20 Fenchurch Street which is a
unique public space that spans three storeys and offers 360 degree
uninterrupted views across the city of London. The Sky Garden has been designed
to create an open and vibrant place of leisure, offering visitors a rare chance
to experience London from a different viewpoint. Entry to the Sky Garden is, as
said before, free, but please note space is strictly limited and visits must be
booked online in advance through their website. Those entering the Sky Garden
entrance with a valid ticket will go through security screening and will be
directed to the high speed lift which will take them up to level 35.
Food and
drinks are available to buy in the Sky Garden restaurants, however, bookings
might be needed and prices can be a bit overprized for some people. We decided
to go to Borough Market which is located near to the Walkie-Talkie tower
itself. Borough Market is located in the
heart of central London, easily accessible by train, tube, bus, bike or on
foot. I’ve been to Borough Market before, and it is probably one of my favourite
food markets to go to – Although I must mention that I say that to a lot of
markets. Borough Market is a riot of colours, smells and human engagement, and
as London’s oldest food market, it has been serving the people of Southwark for
1,000 years, and that extraordinary heritage is an important part of its
appeal.
For a great
day in London I would recommend to visit Sky Garden for an hour and have lunch
at Borough Market either before or after the visit.
