Great experience...but too short

The Guides, information and Videos were excellent....my only issue was with the duration once yiu reached the top.....109 Metres above Sea Level...the staff were brilliant, everything was well managed, but....the 10 minutes, to observer the incredible 360 degrees was nowhere near enough....it is simply not long enough to absorb the incredible views, and amazing experience...but not long enough at the top.

Panoramic view of London

Nice view of London. But a little expensive for what it is

Lovely

Mason was our guide, he was brilliant and very knowledgeable on all of the buildings and history. We had a great view of London and it was very enjoyable!

Panoramic views

A brilliant experience- well worth going. There’s a story telling history area at the base. When you go up the lift you suddenly come out at the top to a panoramic view. You can see for miles. Then well worth a stroll down the river after and a meal at one of the riverside restaurants. There are 39 steps up for anyone who has mobility problems. It makes for a great day out.
