Getting high in London

[Spare tyre]

Where can you get up high in London for good views excluding the cable car, the eye and shard? Want to kill a bit of time there

Free is preferable cus I'm tight, but don't mind paying

Cheers

A walk up Primrose Hill is free!

But I want a fiver for the advice.

Probably get some in Leicester square?

when you in London? I can get you high up and great views

The Monument is pretty cheap and actually historic in itself. Or right up the top of St Pauls.

There are a few bars and restaurants up high too, but they won't be cheap.

Kenwood gives a good view. Or Alexandar Palace. A way out, but nice views

Horsenden Hill

Parliament Hill offers great views. Walk up across the Heath towards Kenwood House for a nose around and then into the Spaniards Inn and you'll have been entertained for a good few hours.

As a starter for ten, head up to the top of One New Change - nice views of St Pauls.

You're probably looking for something a bit more though!

A reasonable amount with work

Tomorrow I'm taking the other half out for a day

Thanks all, given me some food for thought

OXO Tower?

certainly a good view from the top of St Pauls, but also loads of steps and not cheap at £16 although at the moment you can get 2 for 1 if you're going by train.

Heron tower? Will cost you £5 for a bottle of beer but some good views

Is that from the tall building on the corner of Hatfield St and Upper Ground?
