David Hale sent us this hint:: There is a nice view from the balcony
around the top of the new city hall (Ken’s castle) It’s free
and I think it is only open on week days.
North Observation Point Parliament Hill Hampstead Heath, NW3 24Hours
Hampstead Tube Although only 75 metres above sea level, from certain
points
on the south side of the hill you can see pretty much the whole of north
central London. The best places are not at all well marked though, and
tend
to creep up on you as you walk around.
Primrose Hill NW3, NW8 Just north of Regent's Canal, this luscious lump
of ground offers unparalleled views south across Regent's Park, its zoo,
and the WestEnd, emerging at the skyline in the distance.
North East Observation Point
Alexandra Palace Commonly referred to as Ally Pally, the environs
of this one time Victorian pleasure palace enjoy great views over the
City
and beyond. Ally Pally was the site of the World's first TV transmission
in the 1930s when home to the BBC.
The South
Greenwich Park Daylight Hours Greenwich Rail & DLR The best vantage point
here is right next door to the Royal Observatory, which is sign posted
from
all over Greenwich. Simply get out of the station, follow the signs and
enjoy.
Southwest
Richmond Park From King Henry VIII's Mount, the highest point in
the park, central London unfolds in the distant north-east while, after
effecting
a 180 degree turn, the Thames and leafy Surrey roll out to the south
and west.
Central
Oxo Tower South Bank 11-6 Daily ( closed Mon ) Southwark or Warterloo
Tube You can take a drink snack or meal in the bar, brasserie and restaurant
on the eight floor. However, these are on the expensive side, so you
might
just want to look out from the viewing platform which is free. |
