Overview
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.

Amazing panoramic views
CB29 ·It was crowded, even on a rainy, windy day. The top level is open air, so dress accoordingly! The bar level has the sights in front of you labeled above the window. The QR codes for all 4 directions are fantastic and provide even more info.
Waouh!!!
Fouladoux ·Quelle magnifique vue!! Le petit plus, allez faire un petit tour au WC, vous aurez une super vue aussi!!
The Shard
Adinan ·Uma experiência obrigatória para quem quer ter uma vista panorâmica de Londres. Fomos em outubro, às 16:45 e fixamos até o por do sol. Foi possível ver a cidade ainda com a luz do sol, e ficamos até as luzes se acenderem. Experiência fantástica!
Good not great
Patrick ·View is good. Interesting exterior architecture. Interior setup is less immersive than other comparable city towers.
A vista de pájaro.
Dirolpe ·Espectacular poder contemplar la magnífica ciudad desde esa altura.
Fun from start to end
Caroline K ·The view from all sides is stunning, and the staff are so friendly. The pictures you take at the beginning and can view at the end are super fun and we had the best time here!
