Visit This Free Roof Garden On Holborn's Post Building
Details
The roof's unique feature is the chance to see this alignment of famous buildings. In the foreground is the tower of Nicholas Hawksmoor's St George's Bloomsbury. It's based on one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World — the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus — and is topped by a statue of George I. Behind it, in an axis we'd never noticed before, is the dome of the British Museum and then the tower of Charles Holden's Senate House. It's free to go up to the building's roof garden any time Monday to Friday between 10am and 4pm. You can't prebook — just waltz in and speak to the receptionist. You'll need to sign in, read a set of rules, go through a security screen AND show a form of ID, but it's quick and painless, and worth the reward.
