The View from The Shard, Observation deck at The Shard, London Bridge, United Kingdom
The View from The Shard is an observation deck spread across floors 68 through 72 of London's tallest building. From this height, you can see across the entire city, from the river and its bridges to the outer neighborhoods.
The observation deck opened in February 2013 and quickly became a popular destination for both locals and travelers. The building itself was completed in 2012, marking a shift in the city's modern skyline.
London Experts guide visitors throughout the day, sharing detailed information about the city landmarks visible from the observation levels.
Visitors are whisked upward by express elevators that take only seconds to reach the top floors. Once there, you'll find open areas to walk around and multiple levels offering different views of the city.
The highest level includes a partially open-air balcony where visitors can feel the wind and hear the sounds of the city below. This creates a direct connection with London's energy from far above.
