The View from The Shard

The Shard is a shining example of eye catching twenty first century architecture. This amazing structure stands at 306 metres tall, that's 1004 feet to save you Googling it. The architect Renzo Piano has marked London's skyline with a touch of Italian style. This incredible building has only been open since 2012 but has fast become one of London's most well-known attractions.

It has 73 floors and from the top you can experience the view from the Shard. Awe-inspiring and beautiful both during the day and at night. This experience can make the perfect family outing or romantic date.

Why not combine a trip to the city's highest point with a London river cruise. That should keep the kids entertained, at least for a little while anyway.

If you're looking for a romantic day out in London for you and your new partner then start the day off with a trip to a London spa to unwind and relax. Then you and your significant other can head for the heights and take in the view from the Shard at sun down. After that the night is yours.

Are you trying to find a birthday present for your mum that she will never forget, or do you just want to take her out for a special day? Try combining the view with one of our fantastically decadent London based afternoon tea experiences.

Does your father like a bit of history? Well if so why not combine a trip to London's highest observation point with a visit to the Tower of London. This historic prison has seen many people come and go from Anne Boleyn to the Kray twins.

There are so many different experiences you can combine with a trip up the Shard, but some would say why do you need to combine it with anything at all. Simply go up there, pull up a desk chair, relax and watch one of the world's most amazing cities buzz below.
