View from terrace of Tate Modern to St Paul’s Cathedral, London, April 2017
As promised, I am clambering up high to give you an aerial glimpse of London. I plan to take you to a different viewpoint each month in 2017.
January took us to the outdoor gallery at St Paul’s Cathedral; February took us onto a rooftop terrace close to St Paul’s; in March we sailed west along the Thames and up in a cable car; this month we are high above the Thames opposite St Paul’s.
The recent extension to the Tate Modern gallery provides a 360° viewing terrace on the 10th floor. I spent the sunset period up there the other evening, popping inside for my cup of tea while I waited for the sun to drop.
Entrance is free, but donations are encouraged to support this inspiring art gallery. There’s also a handy skyline guide available for £2. My tips: 1) don’t miss this viewpoint, and 2) the lifts get extremely full, so go to the ground floor to catch one.

I’ve been to the Tate Modern several times (there’s always something there worth discussing, but rarely anything I would like to take home!) but I think I need to go back to enjoy the new edition of the terrace.

And the current exhibition of Elton John’s collection is worth seeing

Oh, now that would be interesting. I was actually on the South Bank on Saturday – I wish we’d thought to pop in.

Miss London but haven’t been there since the Tate opened up this terrace. Your 360-degree tour of London is beckoning me to return! Fantastic.

We must meet there! It’s an easy journey in for me (and I always have my camera!) And they do good tea and scones 🙂
I’ve got a crazy work schedule at the moment but I’ll be around from 19 June. A bit nearer the time we must pick a date!

It wasn’t a spectacular sunset as cloud stepped in at the end, but I stayed up there till about 9. So not too bad!
