Paige HunterApril 19, 2017Come up for the absolute best views of London. You really can see everything! There are snacks and champagne available to buy at the top as well. It's a lovely experience.

ℳ𝒶𝓎♍January 19, 2017Yes, it does look like a long shard of glass in person, which is what it pretty much looks like in photos. Definitely a one of its kind structure and worthy of your photo-taking time!Upvoted Feb 25
Matina Kouidou ♥° ☆ ღ ☆٠April 20, 2018Amazing!You must go if you come to London bridge. You can see all the beauty of London. You will find a restaurant on 32th floor and a cafe bar on 52th but you should make a reservation for no waiting
Benjamin 🚀January 1, 2015Absolutely brilliant!!! Make a reservation in advance so you don't have to wait. Also make the extra step and head up to the outdoor observation deck. 🌃
- Cagri AkgurFebruary 10, 2023The tallest building in London also in Europe. There is a viewing terrace at the top for a price. If you don’t want to pay try Sky Garden opposite of the river
Adam FlanaganApril 2, 2015The architecture and views are phenomenal. The toilets are simply awesome, if somewhat lacking in privacy! Whilst an awesome building and experience, the price is extortionate.
Maha AMarch 28, 2017The architecture is WOW. But honestly the afternoon was not only over priced but average. You must not wear sport, trainers etc or you will not be allowed to go in.
Hareesh NuthiNovember 1, 2014Head up to 35th floor shangrila lobby for a free view.. Also aqua bar on otherside to pop in for a nice view of tower bridge
Nicole MillsNovember 1, 2023Great views over London. Quite expensive for a ticket to the top. Bar, restaurant and gelato available at the top.
Oliver WatersJanuary 29, 2015Highly recommend. Pre-book for sunset to see London by day and by night. Champagne package is also worth it!
Katie FramptonFebruary 25, 2014I recommend going in the evening... You can see absolutely everything! Plus, London at night is always gorgeous! (And less tourists)
miss_cinnamonMarch 14, 2017Renzo Piano beautified London's skyline. The view from the 32nd floor bar is magnificent. (The cocktails too)
Annemarie KruijerSeptember 10, 2016Have a cocktail and enjoy the amazing view of the London skyline, you won't be disappointed.
S Marks The SpotsMarch 31, 2013Enjoy the breathtaking views from the 68th, 69th and 72nd floor! Use one of the several digital telescopes to pick out famous London landmarks in real time, day-time or night-time view. Read more
Kae ? ? ? ??? ?? ? ?July 6, 2012The Shard or Shard London Bridge is a skyscraper in Southwark, London. Standing 309.6 metres (1,016 ft) above ground level, it is the tallest building in Europe as of July 2012
Magdalena KarniewiczDecember 5, 2015amazing view, nice bar , good coctails ( ca 15£ so prices are ok), friendly stuff, great place for a date or drink
Laurent C.September 18, 2016Amazing views! Prebook online for sunset to see London by day and by night!
Alex AntoniuAugust 10, 2014This new building is one of the new attractions of london that you must visit. The view from the 72 flour over the city is amazing!- Des Pudels KernFebruary 27, 2017Go for the Gong-bar on the 52nd floor. Great drinks with an astonishing view of London. Skip Tink restaurant on the 35th floor. Service is slow and the food boring.
JessicaOctober 8, 2016Don't bother with the pricey viewing platform, save that money and head to one of the bars for a cocktail with a view!
Brad TOctober 26, 2014Avoid the line for 'the bird's and go straight to the line for bar and restaurants for the whole experience.
HISTORY UKAugust 5, 2011Standing at 310m high, the Shard will own the title of the EU's tallest building when completed in 2012. In 1098 the White Tower was named Britain's tallest building standing at a mere 27m tall.
Martin R.January 3, 2014If you feel the 25 pounds for the view are a bit much, go to the bar "Oblix" on 32 floor and say at the entrance that you're only there for drinks/coffee. It's on 32nd floor!!
Lydia SasaroliNovember 23, 2013Stunning views of London. The view at night is amazing! Perfect surprise gift for your loved one :)
Amit PanditJanuary 27, 2015Excellent views. Service at the bar can be extremely slow, but the food and service ones seated makes up for this.
If you could, stay at Shangri-La at The Shard for even a night. It's worth every pound spent.
kateApril 21, 2013Great view by day & night, not too busy, unlimited time upstairs, free wi-fi. Money very well spent!
Stephen RobinsonApril 10, 2015Pay to see The View from the Shard. It's worth it, especially on a lovely day.
- HeyTripsterDecember 9, 2021Interpreted as an alternative to the London Eye, it is the tallest structure in Europe where you can see the view 360 degrees. Read more
Ana LaraOctober 4, 2014No need to pay to go to the top. Go for a drink or dinner in one of its restaurants!
Christian DuncanMarch 11, 2014Go up the escalator outside London Bridge tube for an epic reminder of how tiny we are!
Steve LyonsMay 30, 2014take some cash and treat yourself to a glass of champagne (£10) when in the viewing gallery
Senel AkarcaNovember 9, 2013Thoroughly enjoyed the view however it is virtually impossible to get a panoramic shot because of the bearings and why isn't there a glasa elevator? !It's a glass building I thought that was the point
Jeffrey ZeldmanOctober 14, 2012Daring new architecture by Renzo Piano rises brilliantly from the historical City of London.
Pernille GoSeptember 12, 2014Just checked in after a long day! Loving the interior design and last but not least the view!- Morgans Hotel Group ManagerMarch 29, 2012Architects are a competitive bunch, with each opus's raison d'etre being to trump the others. Thus, on completion the 'Shard of Glass' will be Europe's tallest building. Read more
Stefania ManiFebruary 11, 2015Amazing view. Went there before the sunset so we saw everything in both day and night light.
luc tSeptember 1, 2013Really London? Who builds an 87-storey skyscraper without a carpark!? Anti-car green washing my @55! What about the disabled?
