A NEW tourist attraction is opening in London next month, and it'll be the highest of its kind in Europe. <\/p>\n
Horizon 22 is set to become Europe's highest free public viewing gallery. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The viewing platform will be located inside 22 Bishopsgate – one of London's tallest buildings.<\/p>\n
Set on the building's 58th floor, the viewing platform will be 254m (833ft) above the ground. <\/p>\n
Visitors will first be led into a lift where they'll be transported to the viewing platform in 41 seconds. <\/p>\n
On the viewing platform, visitors will be able to see several London landmarks including St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, the Shard, and the Gherkin. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The free viewing platform will be open seven days a week from 10am until 6pm on weekdays. <\/p>\n
During the weekends, and on Bank Holidays, opening hours at Horizon 22 will be reduced. <\/p>\n
The attraction will officially open on September 27, with pre-bookings opening one week earlier on September 20, 2023. <\/p>\n
Anyone interested in visiting will need to book their free ticket via the Horizon 22 website.<\/p>\n
