Greatest "free" bar view over London. The Heron Tower is a commercial skyscraper in London. It stands 230 metres tall including its 28-metre mast making it the tallest building in the City of London financial district and the third tallest in the UK.

Not the most exciting place inside, but a lovely rooftop area which not all that many people seem to know about, 2 mins walk from Old St station. If it's packed then The Red Lion is just up the road.

A gallery with a great program of young emerging artists

Get on the list for tickets and surprise someone who will appreciate the 'village of books' upstairs in particular.

A great place to wander get lost and and escape the city.
