If you want to watch the sun rise or set from the top of London’s highest viewing gallery, Horizon 22 now has semi-regular early and late openings.

However, unlike the free daytime visits, these “out of hours” openings are charged for, which also means they’re quieter and less crowded.

The early bird tickets cost £15 per person (including a hot/cold drink), and open the tower for visiting on selected Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays in July from 7:45am.

The late evenings are on selected Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 6.30pm to 10pm, and cost £25 including a drink.

Tickets are available from here.

Scroll down to the dates and look for the little blue or orange dots indicating early or late openings.

Alternatively, if you wait until the clocks go back in late October, you can go up later in the afternoon for sunset from about 4:30pm and all for free. Free tickets are released on their website daily and are snapped up fairly quickly, but they reserve some space each day for walk-ins if you’re willing to take a chance.
