I was looking for a free rooftop view of London and learned about this place from YouTube travel videos. It does not disappoint. All you have to do is find the elevator and go to the highest level, and since the elevator is mostly glass, you can get amazing views of St. Paul's Cathedral just on the way up. When we went around 10am on a Saturday in late August, there was barely anyone there. Maybe it was a combination of it still being early and not that many people knowing about it. It's also only about a 3 minute walk from St. Paul's Cathedral which you can get amazing views of from the rooftop as well as other notable sites like The Shard and The London Eye. And since it's outside with low panes of glass, you can take unobstructed photos. You can even get amazing shots on the ground floor because of the contrast between old vs. modern architecture. read more

Spectacular view of St Paul and surroundings from the rooftop terrace. There is a glass elevator to the 6th floor of this new office building shopping center that takes one to this hidden gem of a place. On a clear day the views are awesome of St Paul's Cathedral Dome and the rest of London. One can distinguish several key buildings and landmarks from above. read more

We went there yesterday at about 5:30 p.m, and the view - particularly of St. Paul's Cathedral - was very nice. The viewing deck - which is shared with a (very noisy and apparently very popular after-work) bar - is free-of-charge. Earlier yesterday, we went to a *great* viewing deck (definitely worth five stars) called The Garden at 120 (located at 120 Fenchurch Street). Unfortunately Yelp is preventing me from posting the (first) review, despite the fact that I attempted to use the same topic heading as the one for One New Change. Anyway; that viewing deck is really terrific and it's also free-of-charge. The only problem is that the glass causes some glare, depending on the angle from which photos are taken. Still, it's surely the next-best thing to The Shard (which we haven't yet visited) and it's on a much higher floor than One New Change. Also, it has a garden - and another nice thing is that the security guard was really friendly, so I had a great conversation with him. read more

I had heard of One New Change but didn't really realise where it is or what it is. When I needed to buy some emergency cufflinks for my boyfriend I asked my boss where I could buy some near work and he recommended One New Change. It was so easy to get to from where I work in Southwark and there's a great range of shops. They are mainly high end high street shops - Pandora, TM Lewin, Banana Republic etc but there is a H&M, Boots and Next for example to make it a little more reasonable. It wasn't anywhere near as busy as Oxford Street or Westfield so a much more pleasant shopping experience even if there isn't the same amount of choice. I'll certainly go again and explore it more as I only really went into a couple of shops. Apparently there are great views from the roof too so will make sure I go up there next time. read more

Great and semi exclusive shots of St. paul's dome that other tourists just don't get. Go to the roof terrace, it's free! Some evenings there are long queues for the bars waiting downstairs - we just told security that we wanted a photo with the dome and they kindly let us "queue jump". Let's do it. Go London! read more

Nice set of stores with amazing city views. Went to the cocktail bar on the 6th floor and grabbed some pho on the 1st after.

Nice shopping centre with good shops and plenty of nice restaurants! Main attraction is the roof top which although has a bar also has an area, where you don't need to pay for drinks, with a beautiful view over London and especially St. Paul's. Great for a sunset! read more

I'm a fan. Anywhere I can get in, shop, get out and not have to touch Oxford Street...I'm sold. If you are like me and prefer to avoid the craziness of the high streets, but might need a little wardrobe reboot now and again One New Change can likely scratch that itch. Great for a last minute work outfit, weekend date night, etc...H&M, Oliver Bonas, Mango, Topshop and all the regular chain suspects. Also, no one touches you. On Oxford Street, people are always touching you. No thanks. One New Change, for the win. Secret for Sundays: open noon-6pm, and virtually empty. BLISS. read more

So you find yourself in the City with someone you want to impress. Without spending any money. 'Aha, I've got something to show you...' you say to them, whilst steering them into this shopping centre, wearing your best trust-me-I'm-in-the-know face as you call the lift. Allow them a mini-gasp as you whiz up to the top floor, then steer them round to the left and watch their jaw drop as they take in the uniquely stunning close-up view of St Paul's Cathedral that they never knew existed. Trust me, it's beautiful and it works every time ;) Aside from the rooftop views I also love this centre for being nextdoor to my office and allowing me to escape the mob at Westfield or Oxford St. Clothing staples like H&M, Mango and Topshop are covered, as is higher end browsing at Reiss or Boss, and the odd treat time at CK Underwear or Hotel Chocolat. Lots of food chains on the upper floor too, plus a Bea's (yay) and Jamie Oliver vs Gordon Ramsay in the resto stakes. You will most often find me avoiding work in my beloved Oliver Bonas, a fave for procrastination and saviour of last minute pressies. You are least likely to find me on the upper floor of H&M - not because it's awful but because that's the window closest to my office and my team can look right in to see who's shopping! The whole place is also open (and peaceful!) on weekends for that last minute thing you really need. Ooh and a gorge food market rolls in on the first Wednesday of every month which I always forget about then makes my day. Major win all round :) read more

A few good shops in the heart of the city. Please note: you must have money to burn in order to shop here as the cheapest shop with no doubt is h&m. This shopping centre only hosts the higher shopping market of the high street. Definitely a no no to visitors of Primani! A good place to go for a few bits after a long day in the office as opposed to slugging yourself down Oxford street. I think it could be a lot better! read more

Forget the shops, and the awesome futuristic architecture, and take the lift up to the top floor. The super-spacious (and FREE!) rooftop platform has one of the best views of Central and South London, and the absolute best of St. Paul's Cathedral (as its literally across the street). Don't get caught up (unless you want to) with the Madison bar/restaurant which you'll see as soon as you'll walk out the elevator. If their gatekeepers give you a hard time, just tell them you're there for the viewing platform which is always open to the public. I take my newbie London friends there every chance I get because even most Londoners don't know about this hidden gem of a view. Check it out! read more

How did I not visit this place sooner? One New Change is one of the newer shopping centres in London and located right next to St. Paul's - you can't miss it. It's got a lot of popular fashion outlets like Banana Republic, Oliver Bonas, H&M, and Mango. There are also several places to eat, such as Pho, Wahaca, and Byron's Burgers. The great thing about One New Change is that it's nowhere near as busy as Oxford Street or Westfield Stratford, so you can get your shopping done in relative peace. Of course, the views of St. Paul's Cathedral from the roof are pretty darn awesome too. read more

Great place for shopping and relaxing! Love its central location right between Bank and St Paul's while at the same time the customers and environment there is totally different than the crowded and touristic atmosphere on Oxford Street. One of my favourite shops there is Hotel Chocolat- always pop there for a little bit of sweetness. Plus, the bar & restaurant on the sixth floor reveals an astonishing view above the city and St Paul's Cathedral. Definitely worth for a day out spot. read more

One New Change - St Paul's Cathedral in nightime, as seen from the terrace of Madison - Shopping Centers Near Me - London, XGL

I may have previously underestimated One New Change. I came earlier in the year and didn't think too much of it. The building is great and the idea of a shopping centre in the City sounds cool. My one gripe at the time was that there are NO DOORS! Sounds like a silly, niggly point, right? But in the middle of winter, I want to shop indoors where it's warm! Where there's no chance that I will be blown away, rained on or snowed on (OK, there is a roof, so rain and snow may not actually be a problem). Anyway, I stand corrected (possibly because I visited two weekends ago in the peak of the September heatwave!). I actually quite enjoyed the visit - on a Saturday/Sunday, there is absolutely no-one around! So, if you know what you want to get, you can pretty much be in and out in around 30 minutes, tops. And if you want a browse, then you're in luck; no need to get those elbows up! I can't comment just yet, but I suspect I would prefer to come here on a weekend then the new Westfield shopping centre in Stratford, purely because I imagine it will be less crowded. I may have to put the theory to the test with (yet another) shopping trip! read more

Rather dull, chain-ridden shopping centre, with a couple of saving graces- it's not that busy, there are views of St. Paul's from the top, and it has both loos and Amazon lockers. Score. read more

I work practically across the road from this, and I quite like it. I've heard some grumbles about the architechture not fitting in with the area, but I love how it reflects and encompasses it's famous neighbour - St Paul's Cathedral. Stand inside with the cathedral behind you and look at the lifts - you'll see what I mean. A good range of shops and food places, and who knows, it might just give the city a bit of a buzz at the weekend (although I will miss roaming around it's abandoned streets on a Sunday!) read more

Wimbledon rollin' with Peroni in a Moët glass kind of vibe recently with rooftop bar with a kick ass view of the city and a big screen and bean bag for Wimbledon matches. Proper lavish. Wish the weather was better but loved the setting overall. Not too packed when sitting either. read more

Beautiful mall - feels as if you're walking into a utopian future. Rooftop views and bar, and walls of glass make it feel open and well lit amidst the fog of London. Great location. read more

Good destination for beauty treatments, hair dos and so on, One New Change is a pleasure to visit unlike some of the more frenzied shopping malls out there. I found it to be a great place to do xmas shopping, as being slightly out of the way it is far less crowded than the West End, but most of what you'll find here is on the pricier side. Best for: last minute haircuts and styling (blow dry bar at Hershesons is great) when you want to look good for the evening as the salons book up less quickly than the more central haunts even though 1NC is only 10 mins by tube from the heart of the West End in Tottenham Court Road. read more

A shopping centre in City area full of restaurants & posh shops. But the intesting thing here is the roof top view. Go straight there (you don't need to pay for a drink in the roof top bar) and enjoy great views of London & St Paul's Cathedral for free! read more

I was eager to visit this shopping centre as i had heard alot about it being the new place to shop in the city and also ts nice to avoid the hustle and buste of Oxford st. It was in actual fact just another small shopping centre, its mostly outside so doesnt give that whole warm enclosed shopping centre experience. The choice of shops is ok there is Topshop, Lk Bennet, All saints etc but nothing outstanding and worth specifically going here for. There are still many shops to open in the spring. There is a variety of resturants, most of which seemed to be quite busy. It is ok as shopping areas go and i think is more suited to the summer as its outside and mostly made of concrete so doesnt feel too welcomimg. I would rather stay on the tube a bit longer and go to Canary Wharf. read more

Great place to hang if you want a breather :) St. Paul's Cathedral, Clerkenwell, South Bank all within a five - ten minute walk. Probably I'm slightly biased as my office is a stones throw away from here. Somewhat synthetically and clinically clean - but I like it as it reminds me of Tokyo buildings :) read more

For all the advertising this place does, I thought it would be something amazing. As I happened to be in The City today I thought "ooh, I should check out that shopping center!" One New Change is nice enough, but it has all the same shops that most good high streets have. Nothing remarkable, though a nice mix of things. Quite cold on a chilly February day, but it is a rather interesting layout. read more

A nice mall with plenty of different shops and restaurants - of course, they're all major brands, so if you're looking for something completely the opposite of that, I'd suggest to go elsewhere - but don't ask me where, because I'm not a Londoner. Bathrooms were very clean, and I noticed they also had an Amazon Locker there. I wish I had known about the rooftop views before leaving, so I could've caught a glimpse as well, but I guess there's always next time! read more

Love this place. Obviously there's the shopping but also the food markets! Great place to pop out for lunch and have a wander around. Also good for those last minute necessities - shoes for a ball, cake for your birthday obligations, tights from H&M and quirky gifts! read more

Great Shopping place.. No hassle of Yummy Mummies or School Children!

Bad service. For the first time I asked to have the service charge removed. From the start the snooty staff who just about managed to look down their noses at us, eventually asked us what we wanted. They walked up and down as if they were on a model ramp, but didn't look like any models I know. When I went to the bathroom the chef was there. He had a pee. Someone even said hi chef and he walked out without washing his hands!!!!!!!! Really! He drinks came in drinks and drabs and so did the food. Who the staff think they are I'm not quite sure, but they are staff in a restaurant, not making decisions on world peace! It was like we were dirt on their shoes. It was 4th of July. Nothing special. But all in all crap service. Mediocre food. And not worth the money spent. What a load of shite!!!! Never again. And teach you staff hygiene!!!!! And I had to give it a star or else it wouldn't let me post, but even that is way too much! read more
