Stretching from Greenwich to Blackheath, Greenwich Park offers panoramic views of the Naval College and Docklands from One Tree Hill and the Royal Observatory.
Just be prepared for some climbing, the hills are not insubstantial. You can cycle through some of the park so watch out for people descending rapidly on the main road.
At 254 metres high, Horizon 22 offers a better view than the nearby Sky Garden and, at least when I went there, was noticeably less busy.
The catch? Well it really is only the view on offer up there. There’s nowhere to sit and only a tiny kiosk selling coffee.
A free garden located at the top of the Walkie Talkie. The building melted nearby cars when it was first built, a bold solution to London’s traffic that would ideally be rolled out city wide.
The garden offers great views of the city and there’s an on-site bar and restaurant - both exactly as expensive as you’d expect.
