The spectacular glass-walled Shard Building is the first heavyweight building to be completed in central London in the "post-Olympic era". The glass curtain wall with a total area of 8 football fields is splendid under the shadow of the Thames. It is worth mentioning that the top of the building is not closed but is open and staggered. From a distance, it looks as if several huge glass fragments are supported by each other.

△ The Shard is divided into five parts from bottom to roof, namely office building, high-end restaurant, Shangri-La Hotel, super high-rise residential area and high-level sightseeing hall. The reasonable layout makes every part of the building fully utilized.

△ The sunset and night scene of the building are extraordinarily beautiful.

△ Chatting with several friends and enjoying the beauty of London, plus a glass of champagne, is definitely a wonderful experience!

Incredible views! Visiting The Shard was a highlight of our London trip. You can see the whole city—especially stunning at sunset.
Renzo Piano | Britain's tallest building: "Star-reaching Tower" The Shard, also known as the "Star-reaching Tower", is located next to London Bridge Station on the south bank of the Thames in London, England. It is the tallest building in the UK and the fourth tallest skyscraper in Europe. The building has a total height of 310 meters and a total of 95 floors, of which 72 floors are usable spaces, including functional areas such as offices, hotels, apartments, restaurants and observation decks. The project was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. Construction began in March 2009, was completed in April 2012, and was officially opened to the public on February 1, 2013. The Shard is positioned to create London's first "vertical community", integrating office, residence, hotel, catering and sightseeing, aiming to provide London with a multifunctional and sustainable urban landmark. The design was inspired by the spire of the church and the mast of the ship on the Thames. The overall shape is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, eventually forming a crystal clear glass pyramid.
It is cost-effective and cheaper than the official booking. I bought the ticket and went up quickly while the weather was fine. It is worth a visit. This is my first time in London. The observation deck of the Shard is on the 72nd floor. It is the tallest building in London. It is also nice to watch the sunset.
The Shard is a landmark building in London, and standing on it you can overlook the magnificent view of the entire city. It has a unique design and a very spectacular appearance. The internal facilities are also very advanced, with an observation deck, restaurant, etc. At the Shard, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of London and feel the charm of this city. It is a must-see attraction.
Located on the south bank of the Thames in central London, near Tower Bridge, London Bridge. The overall shape is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, with the spire gradually disappearing into the air, similar to a 16th-century spire or the mast of a tall ship. This unique shape makes it particularly eye-catching in the city skyline of London.
The tallest building in the EU, the architecture is very modern and imaginative. When I went up to the top floor, there was music playing, haha. It was open-air and the wind was blowing, the whole experience was very spritual. I watched the sunset from dusk to the lights at night. I didn't climb the Shard, but it was also quite magnificent when I looked at it from the other side of the river.
booked the shard experience where you can spend time at the top with a bar and a nice view. it is perfect for any form of celebrations I personally went for a bachelorette party , I’ve included some of the photos from the night.
