Oh no
I've really messed up
Taking DD to London as a treat for her 12th birthday in a fortnight and her biggest wish was to go to the Sky Garden for the view.
Just gone to book and it's sold out.
For some reason, as it is free, I didn't realise there would be booking restrictions. Stupid of me I know, but I'm not thinking clearly at the moment for lots of different reasons (dealing with traumatic life events at the moment).
I can't even begin to afford entry to the Shard, which still has tickets available.
I've just read on another Sky Garden thread here that if you hook to eat in the restaurant, you get free access to the garden. I can't afford for us both to eat there, but the kids menu is £9.99 which you have to pre-book online to secure your place.
My question is, could I order a meal just for my DD? And I could just get a soft drink whilst she eats, then we go to the garden view together....would that work? Or would I have to order a meal for myself as well? Would they refuse us if 2 of us turn up but only 1 kids meal is booked?
Can't find this info on their website.
I've been calling over the past hour - it goes to an automated message and eventually gives you another number to call if you want to talk to someone in person, which I desperately do, but that number keeps saying 'Sorry we are closed'.
I'd enormously appreciate any help or advice.
Really want to make this birthday special for DD after a traumatic time, and now I've completely failed to get her to the main place she wants to go to!
