Experience the stunning panoramic vistas of London from The Shard, which stands as the tallest building in both the UK and western Europe. On clear days, you can marvel at the city's beauty and visibility extending up to 64 kilometers!
Observing from The Shard
Renowned as London’s highest skyscraper, The Shard reaches an impressive height of 310 m (1,017 ft) and features a distinctive triangular design embellished with glass panels. The designated viewpoint, The View from The Shard, enables you to enjoy perspectives that are unrivalled by any alternative observation areas in the city, soaring to greater heights than others.
The building’s elevator ascends at an impressive rate of 6 m (19.6 ft) per second, offering a smooth journey. In just 60 seconds, you will transition from the ground level to the 68th floor!
The principal observation space located on the 69th floor encompasses a magnificent area stretching over three stories. It is bathed in natural light during daytime hours and provides an ideal vantage for viewing the city’s illuminated skyline after dusk.
If you seek an even more elevated experience, the open-air terrace known as the Skydeck on the 72nd floor offers a remarkable opportunity to connect with the city, where you can be over 300 m (984 ft) above ground and absorb the atmosphere and sounds of London.
