In my opinion, it is the skyscraper with the best 360-degree view of London. The view spans multiple floors and although there were a lot of people, you could equally enjoy the view while also sipping a good cocktail at sunset. What's more, it is also the skyscraper with the highest panoramic view...I highly recommend it to anyone who would like to experience observing London and its monuments from above.

I’ve been fascinated by the design of this building , so on my trip to London visiting the Shard was on my list of sites to see. And it didn't disappoint. It's beautiful, and the views are spectacular. I also enjoyed the talk the two men gave on the history of how ithe Shard was built, very interesting and fun.

Amazing experience from start to finish. It was our first time at The View and we loved it. The bar staff were super quick and polite, we had plenty of room to walk around at our own pace and we managed to sit down for a while too. It wasn't rushed and the 'view' was breathtaking.

Ride high-speed lifts to one of London’s tallest viewing platforms and enjoy 360° skyline views stretching up to 40 miles in every direction.

Begin your visit on Level 68, then explore Level 69’s panoramic indoor gallery for iconic sights like Tower Bridge, Big Ben, and St. Paul’s.

Step onto Level 72’s open-air sky deck for an immersive experience and see its distinctive glass facade from the top floor.

Upgrade your visit with fast-track entry and a glass of champagne or soft drink for a more relaxed and celebratory experience.

My experience at The Shard in London was truly unforgettable. The moment I stepped into the high-speed elevator and soared to the viewing deck, I felt a rush of excitement. From the top, the panoramic view of London was simply breathtaking — the Thames, Tower Bridge, and city skyline all glittering below. The atmosphere was elegant yet calm, perfect for soaking in the beauty of the city. Watching the sunset from such a height was magical, and it gave me a new appreciation for London’s charm. A visit to The Shard is an experience I’d highly recommend to everyone

The weather was beautiful so we had a great view over London and all its amazing sights like London Eye, Tower of Big Ben, Tower Bridge, ... we really enjoyed this special experience. As we were up on the highest floor we enjoyed some deleicious cocktails and stayed up there for quite a time. The staff was very polite and open minded. We can definitely recommend visiting The Shard!
