Skyline view

The view over the skyline

The London audio-guided tour has you climb to the top of the hill of Primrose Hill, from which one of the most emblematic and appreciated views of the capital opens, over the whole London skyline.

The skyscrapers of London

From the summit, the skyline proudly unfolds its highest towers. One notably distinguishes The Shard, the tallest skyscraper of London, recognisable by its pyramidal shape, the imposing dome of St Paul's Cathedral, the Sky Garden nicknamed the "Walkie-Talkie" by Londoners, and the impressive London Eye, which culminates at one hundred and thirty-five metres. In all, nearly five hundred and fifty towers of more than twenty floors shape this urban landscape in perpetual evolution.

What there is to see

From this natural belvedere, the gaze embraces the whole of the London skyline, from the great modern skyscrapers to the historic monuments. It is one of the finest viewpoints of the city, particularly prized at sunset. An essential stop to grasp in a single glance the immensity and the diversity of London.

Practical information

The view over the skyline can be discovered at the summit of the hill of Primrose Hill, in London. Access is free at all hours; the climb is made on foot up grassy slopes, and is therefore not on the level. The panorama is particularly beautiful at the end of the day.
