Can I view London from the top of its tallest building?
One Canada Square, incorrectly referred to as Canary Wharf is one of the tallest buildings in London, but it's proving difficult to find out for sure whether it has any public viewing platform or bar or restaurant accessible to the public, or any open days or such when an exception might be made to allow public viewing at certain special times.
Is there any way for a normal member of the public to view London from this building?
Best Answer
25 Canada square, the Citigroup building, which is one of the tallest buildings in London, does have a cafe on the 27th floor (I may be incorrect with the exact floor number), which is open to the public. It offers amazing panoramic views over London, and especially the Olympic sites and London City Airport.

The lobby area is open to public since it connects the underground with the mall and it's worth a quick visit. The marble used to design the lobby is rather exquisite. Take a picture from the main square where at the weekends you can find local bands and street performers.The Shard - A view from the top of London's tallest building

Citi's cafe is on the 36th floor. However, you will need to know someone who works there such that you can be there as their guest.

Since 2010 the tallest building in London has been The Shard (309.6m).

It has a viewing gallery at the top:
London's highest and best view is situated at the top of The Shard, on floors 68, 69 and 72. At almost twice the height of any other viewing platform in the capital, it offers visitors unparalleled 360-degree views for up to 40 miles.
Unfortunately it's rather expensive, advance tickets start from £25.95 (adult), £19.95 (child).
