    Climbing the o2 was the most exhausting but incredible experience ever a must do put on your list. Second time up the shard and it is absolutely stunning drinks are a little experience but a once time treat is definitely worth it.

    The construction is amazing! Maybe some chairs or bench seats could be useful when drinking champagne and looking London from above at 72 floor!

    The talk by staff. It wasn't crowded. Staff were friendly all around. I had a nice chat with a bar staff and someone else took photos. The cake was delicious and views amazing

    This place I would definitely recommend to everybody who likes hight and good view. It is quite windy out there. There is no roof on the top floor. There was no queue so we easily got up without delay. It was a bit complicated to find the entrance, but we did it. It is near the underground station.
