Save on tourist attractions by enjoying views from these London rooftop bars instead 😍
There are many viewpoints in London where you can see stunning views. These include The View from The Shard and Up At The O2. But, these places can be super pricey, there are many great rooftop bars and restaurants where you can see the view for free while enjoying a drink, or some food.
Of course, we know food and drinks aren't cheap in London, but you can buy a soft drink, or even a glass of water. You can then take in the great views, and get that Instagram shot. 📸
Tourist attraction prices:
The View from the Shard = £57 for two
Up at the O2 = £70 for two
The London Eye = £60 for two
