| mobilehk23:23 UTC05 Sep 2007 | I think "birdview" is more correct.
any free , public place ( not in restaurant,etc ) have a wide birdview ? how about Tower 42, Oxo tower, Tate Modern or other better choice ?

| scaryant23:45 UTC05 Sep 2007 | You mean birds-eye view.
There aren't that many tall buildings in London let alone tall buildings open to the public. Many of the tall buildings are office blocks and those that do have a section open to the public (as far as I know) use the space to charge visitors for viewings or place bars and restaurants in them.
You can scroll through this list of tall buildings in London, each is linked to it's own page and most of the individual pages specify if the building is open to the public or has an observation deck.
On a clear day you get a good view of Canary Wharf (for free) from Greenwich Observation, you can also see the city from there but it's from quite a distance. If you had a good Zoom lense and a tripod you could probably get a good shot from there though.
One of the best panoramic views in London has to be the London Eye, which will cost you £14.50 adult (if you pre-book) or £15 (if you buy on the day) and takes you 30 minutes.
HTH - Cheers

| the_flying_fish01:04 UTC06 Sep 2007 | You can walk up into the gantries in Tower Bridge. The Monument at the north end of London Bridge gives a great view of the City - 311 steps up though!

| the_flying_fish01:05 UTC06 Sep 2007 | Oh just re-read it has to be free. Their good views of the river from upstairs in the Tate Modern. Monumnet costs about £2, Tower bridge about £5

| scaryant01:14 UTC06 Sep 2007 | Also The Monument is closed now, until December 2008. : )

| apapa01:23 UTC08 Sep 2007 | The Novotel on the Euston Road has a glass lift. You can see most of london from the top. I also love the views from Alexandra Palace. It is a bit out of the way though.
