Free things to do near Bank & Monument station
2 genuinely free places within walking distance of Bank & Monument, each one checked so “free” means free at the door. Straight-line estimates, not walking-route promises — use TfL for the journey itself.
Leadenhall Market
MarketA Victorian covered market in the City, with ornate ironwork and cobbles — the public arcade is free and open 24/7, even though individual shops keep their own hours.
Sky Garden
ViewpointFree 360° views over the City from the top of the 'Walkie-Talkie' — but you must book a timed ticket online in advance (released a few weeks ahead); turning up without one usually means no entry.
