With so much on offer for visitors as well as the people who live and work there, London's Shard is so much more than just Western Europe's tallest building. Check out these highlights and experience the "vertical city" for yourself!
Take a double-decker elevator up to London's best view. Tickets aren't cheap, but if the cloudy English weather spoils the 40-mile panoramas, you can go back another time for free!
If you visit just one of the restaurants in the Shard, try this ode to contemporary English cuisine. From Sunday lunch to afternoon tea, every tradition comes creatively reimagined.
The Shard's artisan deli is a must for coffee and cake. After tasting their signature pastries, you'll need a will of steel not to leave with goodies to take home!
With 5-star suites and breathtaking views, the Shangri-La is the perfect place for a romantic getaway at the height of luxury.
Serious swimmers be warned: the highest hotel swimming pool in Europe is more a place to relax by day and party by night! Unfortunately, before 8pm it is only open to hotel guests.
The closest Tube station is London Bridge, accessible via the Northern and Jubilee lines. The station is also served by some overground lines. On sunny days, visitors might prefer the stroll along the Thames' Southbank from Waterloo, or across London Bridge from Monument.
Parking is available on Kipling Street and Southwark Bridge Road nearby. Drivers should take note that the Shard is situated within London's congestion charge zone, applicable between 7am and 6pm on weekdays. For more information, visit the Transport for London website.
There is a smart-casual dress code at most of the Shard's restaurants and bars. If you plan to visit any of them, avoid wearing sportswear, shorts, or flip-flops.
I read the reviews before I booked and feel that they reflect the kind of experience you’re going to have. I was with my 11 year old son and 69 year old mother - it crossed all those generations and the theatrics was fun and we really enjoyed it. The female conductor was really really great. And genuinely funny and her improv and innuendo was hilarious. Highly recommend. PS We went at 9am to ensure it was dark - may be a little less fun in the day light. Bus is gorgeous - we sat downstairs and was super.
Being dropped off quite a distance from the Shard we took a taxi, but it was worth the extra it cost us, we were not sure we could sort the underground out, and not sure which bus would get us there, but hey ho, it did not matter, all went according to plan and we really enjoyed the experience, the weather was obviously on our side, and the sun lit up the whole area, just awesome, we are sure to go back again.
The view from the Shard was wonderful. Fairly busy, and lots of people ‘camping’ beside the windows as that’s the only way to ensure a good viewing sesh. Not sure why this packaging included the phrase ‘champagne optional’ - there’s no offer here, it’s just available to purchase at the bar with all the other beverages.
Staff were very welcoming and helpful, didn't really feel the lift move, although experienced slight pressure in ears, walking out to the viewing area was a bit unnerving but very exciting, weather was good so could see for miles, it was fun trying to pick out famous landmarks. Great experience full stop.
A very good morning activity, alas weather - wet and windy and misty - could have been better. A little confused about 'optional champagne' wording on ticket, but otherwise the tour from arrival to departure was very well organised.
