I had an amazing time at The View from The Shard. The views were absolutely stunning — you can see all across London, and it really gives you a whole new perspective on the city. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. A special shoutout to Zia, our guide, who was brilliant — informative, engaging, and funny! He struck the perfect balance between sharing interesting facts and keeping things light and entertaining. Overall, a fantastic visit. Highly recommended!

Well signposted from London Bridge tube station. Staff on hand to point you in the right direction and complete bag check / security check. Photo for our group on entry, then up the super fast lift. View on arrival at floor 68 was spectacular from all angles. Drinks / snacks available. Thoroughly enjoyed our hour at "View from the shard". Would recommend for any trip to London.

I met up with my brother there as he had never been. The view was spectacular. We went on a hot sunny day. It was fun trying to recognise the varied landscapes. There was a tour guide if you wanted to listen in. Previously I had gone in the winter late afternoon when London is at its best. I'm sure my brother will be back.

    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!
