About The Shard

Designed by master architect Renzo Piano, The Shard has redefined London’s skyline and quickly established its place as a dynamic symbol of the city.

At a height of up to 800ft or 244m, and at almost twice the height of any other vantage point in London, visitors will experience unrivalled 360-degree views over the city for up to 40 miles on a clear day.

You’ll begin your journey in their extraordinary high-speed lifts, which will take you from Level 1 to Level 68 in 60 seconds.

Once there, enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the capital from the Level 69 observation deck while unwinding with a glass of Champagne, or share a moment with a loved one spotting London’s famous landmarks from their open air skydeck on Level 72 where, exposed to the elements, you can take in the sounds and the atmosphere of the city below.

Located moments from London Bridge and surrounded by the city’s most notable attractions, the high life awaits you at The View from The Shard.
