What you'll do
Your visit to The View from The Shard begins with a smooth, skyward journey in the building’s high-speed lifts, delivering you to the top of Western Europe’s tallest structure in under a minute.
From the enclosed viewing platforms on Levels 68 and 69, you’ll enjoy uninterrupted views stretching across London and far beyond, with interactive touchscreens and telescopes helping you identify landmarks, neighbourhoods and hidden details far below. The experience culminates on Level 72, an open-air viewing deck where the glass falls away and the city feels thrillingly close.
From sunrise to sunset and into the evening glow, The View from The Shard offers a constantly changing panorama – and a real sense of just how vast, historic and vibrant London is.
