What can I access with my sightseeing ticket?

You can also climb the Dome, up to the two Dome Galleries – the Stone Gallery, and the Golden Galleries, which provide incredible views over London. Why not explore our map in advance of your visit?

You will be able to pick up a free multimedia guide and you have the opportunity to join our range of free tours. You will also have access to any temporary exhibitions and installations, which you can see advertised on our What’s On page.
