Horizon 22, Observation deck at 22 Bishopsgate, City of London, England
Horizon 22 is a viewing platform on the 58th floor of 22 Bishopsgate in the City of London. It features expansive glass panels offering panoramic views across the capital in multiple directions.
The building stands in London's financial and trading district, which has been the city's commercial centre since ancient times. This area was devastated by the Great Fire of 1666, after which it gradually transformed into a zone of modern towers.
From here, visitors can see how modern towers and centuries-old structures like St Paul's Cathedral and Tower Bridge coexist in the same view. The contrast reveals how the city has grown while preserving its historical landmarks.
Advance booking of free tickets is required for entry, and visitors should expect wind and variable weather at this height. Autumn and winter days tend to offer clearer conditions than busy summer months.
Unlike other high viewing points in London, entry here is completely free and requires only advance booking. From this location, The Shard can be seen from a higher perspective than from many other popular city viewpoints.
