Horizon 22, Europe’s highest free public viewing gallery, will open its doors to the public for the first time at 10am on September 27, 2023. Pre-bookings are available online at www.horizon22.co.uk
Located on Level 58 of the City of London’s tallest building, 22 Bishopsgate, Horizon 22 will be the highest free viewing gallery in Europe, at 833 ft / 254m above ground. 22 Bishopsgate is a 62-storey smart building with a vision to create a place where people thrive.
The highly anticipated experience will offer guests a completely new perspective of London’s sprawling capital, with visitors able to enjoy unique views of London’s most iconic landmarks including the ‘Cheesegrater’, ‘Walkie Talkie’ ‘Gherkin’, St Paul’s Cathedral and Tower Bridge, as well as across the River Thames to the Shard. Horizon 22’s main viewing gallery has an 8.4m/27.8 ft high ceiling to enhance the viewing experience, featuring triple glazed windows which are specially treated to maximise daylight and improve energy efficiency.
Horizon 22 has its own entrance direct from Bishopsgate. Having passed through ticketing and security, visitors will be whisked up to Level 58 mezzanine in 41 seconds in one of the two high speed lifts serving the gallery, traveling at up to 8 meters per second.
