About

One slow rotation in a glass capsule lays out Westminster, the South Bank and the curve of the Thames below, with sightlines reaching towards Hampstead on a clear day. It is priced like the tourist attraction it is, but the view earns it, especially booked for golden hour. Reserve a time slot online, walk up tickets cost more and the queue at County Hall moves slowly on weekends.
