Text and photos by Chen Chi-Hsiang. In the past, London’s roof was St Paul’s Cathedral; now it has been replaced by the new Sky Garden, which serves as London’s new rooftop—a landmark for gazing at the magnificent panorama of the Thames. Located on floors 35 to 37 of the building along the Thames, it is hard to imagine that London’s stunning views are a dreamlike reality right before your eyes. The Tower of London, with its bloodstained history, is right beneath your feet. The majestic landmark of the Thames, Tower Bridge, passes by the bizarre City Hall building, while on the river sits HMS Belfast, a battleship that witnessed Britain’s maritime rise and fall (now a museum). From this same vantage point, in the distance stands London’s newest tallest skyscraper—the masterpiece of renowned Italian architect Renzo Piano. Following the winding Thames, at dusk one can gaze at the shimmering full panorama of the river. On clear days with blue skies and white clouds, the boundless view encompasses Shakespeare’s Globe, Tate Modern, St Paul’s Cathedral, and more, all stretching out before you until the London Eye.
