View Experience from the Shard

The View from The Shard offers visitors a unique chance to gain a bird’s eye view of London from two platforms situated at the very top of the tallest building in the city. The viewing galleries, one indoor and one outdoor, have floor to ceiling windows on all four aspects of the building and give a full 360° vista out over London and beyond. Experience the incredible sights standing at twice the height of any other viewing platform in the city. The stunning views of the world’s greatest city span an unbelievable 40 mile (64km) radius, standing at an impressive 1,016ft or 310 metres high.The lift travels at six metres per second, meaning you travel from Level 1 to Level 68 in about 60 seconds! The main viewing gallery on Level 69 is a spectacular three storeys high, flooded with light in the daytime and the perfect place to see the glittering lights of London at night. For an even higher experience, venture to the partially outdoor viewing gallery on Level 72.
