Designed by Renzo Piano, The Shard, with its wonderful view of the city, represents one of the most suggestive buildings in the capital. With its irregular pyramidal shape, it is completely covered in glass. From here, you will have the opportunity to take wonderful photos of the London skyline; have the opportunity to admire from above the Cathedral of St. Paul, Tower Bridge and Westminter.
The panoramic view is located at the top, on floors 68, 69 and 72, almost twice the height of any other London platform. Do not miss the level 72, the highest. Looking up, you will see how the glass fragments that form the top of this amazing skyscraper disappear upwards.
Get ready to embark on a multisensory journey at 244mt. high, with a wonderful panoramic view. Wonderful views of the city await you.
Traveling to the sky in two high-speed elevators, you quickly reach Level 68, a “Cloudscape” above the world.
Here, in the sky above the English capital, you will experience an amazing 360 degree panorama of over 64 km (40 miles), and London’s past, present and future will be explained to you thanks to the help of multimedia displays.
