HORIZON 22
Europe’s Highest Free Public Viewing Gallery
Welcome to Horizon 22 – level 58 viewing gallery at 22 Bishopsgate.
Horizon 22 is Bluecrows second project in one of London’s most prestigious buildings, 22 Bishopsgate.
Working directly with AXA and JLL, Bluecrow Projects carried out a full design and build package on levels 00, 01, 01m, 58, 58m and 60 to deliver London’s highest viewing gallery, Horizon 22.
The works included extensive acoustic treatments and large structural installation such as revolving entrance doors, plant decks and supports for the mammoth 6.6m x 3.7m LED screens! Bluecrow also carried out sprinkler, electrical, BMS, public health, flooring, HVAC and decorations packages on the project.
As stunning as the fitout is…you just can’t beat that view.
‘Horizon 22’ offers spectacular panoramic views across London from 833 ft / 254 metres in the sky.
Located on Level 58 of the City of London’s tallest building, 22 Bishopsgate, Horizon 22 will be the highest free viewing gallery in Europe, at 254 metres or 833 ft above ground. 22 Bishopsgate is a 62-storey smart building with a vision to create a place where people thrive.
Offering a completely new perspective of London’s sprawling capital, visitors will enjoy unique views of London’s most iconic landmarks including the ‘Cheesegrater’, ‘Walkie Talkie’ ‘Gherkin’, St Paul’s Cathedral and Tower Bridge, as well as across the River Thames to the Shard.
