The best views in London: free roof gardens and galleries in the City, hills the law forbids anyone to build across, decks you pay to go up, and bars worth the lift.

Alexandra Palace

A terrace the length of a Victorian palace, on the ridge above north London.

FreeHills & parksOpen air

Also in Performance venues.

The palace sits on the top of the hill at Muswell Hill with a long south-facing terrace in front of it, and central London is laid out below: the City cluster and the Shard in the middle, Canary Wharf to the left, the arch at Wembley away to the right. The terrace and the park around it are free and open at any hour, and there is a bar behind the glass if the wind gets up.
