In total, the building at 22 Bishopsgate, designed by PLP Architecture for developers AXA Investment Managers, has 62 floors. And located here, in addition to the observation gallery, are many new office spaces, a gym, bars and restaurants. Horizon 22 is free to attend, but tickets must be booked in advance.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the <\/span>words<\/span><\/a> of Phillip Shalless, Senior Asset Manager at AXA IM Alts: \u201cAs the highest free public viewing gallery in London, we hope Horizon 22 will become a must-see destination for anyone visiting, living, or working in this great city. Horizon 22 supports the Corporation of London\u2019s \u2018Destination City\u2019 vision, which aims to increase the City\u2019s appeal to visitors seven days a week. Horizon 22 offers unparalleled views across the capital. Whether you\u2019re a first-time visitor to the city, a local worker wanting to do something different in your lunch hour, or someone looking for that memorable place to propose, the soaring views from Horizon 22 provide the perfect backdrop.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The gallery also features a caf\u00e9 serving soft drinks and snacks.The caf\u00e9’s baristas, Keisha and Michelle, told LC that they have “been working here since it opened and love the gallery atmosphere where people are genuine and approachable, and the view is always amazing.” As another employee, Kevin, said: \u201cI can\u2019t imagine getting tired of this view. It\u2019s also very nice to hear stories from visitors about places in the city, which become a part of the whole experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe opening of Horizon 22 is yet another huge vote of confidence in the City\u2019s status, not only a global business hub, but also as a seven-day-a-week destination for everyone to enjoy. On top of the much-needed office space that 22 Bishopsgate provides, I am delighted that we can now widely share its free to access, public viewing gallery, which promises some of the best possible views of London,\u201d said Shravan Joshi, Chairman of the City of London Corporation Planning and Transport Committee.<\/p>\n
