Overview
The View from The Shard is a breathtaking experience. On a clear day this attraction offers unparalleled views up to 40 miles around the United Kingdom. The lift whisks you up to 69th or 72nd level where you’ll experience amazing views and interactive exhibits. Set your sights on the curving Thames River, City Hall, Tower Bridge, The Canary Wharf and The London Eye Ferris Wheel.
What’s the worst that could happen?
You’ll never find parking. What if it’s really windy and a bug hits you in the face? What if an event is being held and someone breaks a champagne glass and you step on the shards?
Get Afraid
Are you brave enough to do the 72nd floor?
