A true open-air museum where you can discover iconic landmarks with friends and family.

Venture to the trendy district of Shoreditch, where you will find a wide range of things to enjoy like street art, vintage boutiques and fancy restaurants. For that special moment, head to the Sky Garden which, as its name suggests, is an indoor garden located at the top of a huge skyscraper. Absorb the 360º breath-taking view.
