The View from The Shard is one of a kind and breathtaking. A full 360 view of London, the tallest building with a viewing platform. The shard also has three restaurants in it that you can RSVP. I highly recommend it. Even if you’re not down to eat at any of the restaurants at the very top You can RSVP a small table and get cocktails, snacks, desserts, pastries, and more. In the evening they will also have performance artist like a singer or pianist. My boyfriend and I stayed up there for a few hours. Just enjoying the lovely view, this is a must see attractions in London.

This is such an amazing place to visit. The best place in London for a panoramic view. you have the choice of 2 floors to view. Each one better than the other. We took so many pictures. We didn't want to leave! 1 floor is an indoor viewing platform (level 69) and the other floor is the out door sky deck (level 72). It was worth every penny! I would definitely visit again and will recommend to EVERYONE I know. The pictures that were taken in the entrance were amazing! We took 2 packs! The digital photos are included with your tickets so make sure you take pictures to at least save them on your phone. Whatever you do, make sure you add this place in your trip to London!

Really good views of London from the top, 2 different viewing platforms, the last one is a few staircases further up. Lift up is really quick 3rd fastest in the UK. Was busy over the weekend, A bar at each viewing deck offering alcoholic and hot drinks too, however few seats or tables. Saying that it's worth the experience. We spent about 45 minutes overall.

The view from the shard, £33 each. I got the premium package - this included fast track tickets, which wasn't needed at the time of 9pm, due to it only being 1hr till closing. times are of your own choosing. security includes a scanner and a bag check x-ray thingy. then photos are taken if you have a premium package (free for online downloads only). You are given a paper card with a code on for when you're leaving for collecting your photos. two elevators are needed to get to the top. Had a good look around the top, bar on 68/69 and then the viewing platform itself on 72, this is open at the top so can be breezy. overall a very good view. I actually lost the card given to me for the photo package and I told the staff at the end, a kind lady retook them for us. On a good day it would be nice to use the bar at the top on 72.

Excellent views. Not enough seating in bar area and very expensive. £15 for a bowl of nuts, crisps and 2 soft drinks. Very nice friendly chatty staff. Can spend as long as you want there. Cold at the very top, could do woth outdoor heating maybe.

Purchased the Virgin Experience voucher that incorporated the Shard visit, free cocktail and photos. From arrival, through security, the obligatory photos and lift to the top, the whole process took. roughly fifteen minutes. We were booked in at 19.30, so the night time views were amazing. So far, so good. However, having to queue for forty minutes for your drink is unacceptable. A tip - don't go to the bar on level 68, go to the one on level 71. Whilst undoubtedly busy, the fact that cocktails were being made incorrectly isn't good enough.Once we eventually received ours, they were most enjoyable in fairness. The photos taken on arrival are ready when you depart. You are offered a package at a cost of £25, which from a previous daytime visit is a nice, if overpriced memento. The Virgin package only ensures you receive the pictures you posed for in an email. If we had literally just paid for the 'view' then I would definitely score 5/5. Unfortunately the long delay at the bar sonewhat soured the visit.

My 5-star experience with the 'View from the Shard' began even before I visited the place! I booked from their website for the 5pm slot with the idea of watching the sunset from the Shard. After paying, I realised I may not be able to make it as I had also booked a West end show. Next morning, I called their customer service and they immediately changed my date without any charge. The views are obviously spectacular, as long as you get clear skies. We got that as you can see from the photos. Their photo package of £25 is excellent value. I highly recommend it. You get a beautiful album plus link to download.

Beautiful views, great architecture etc, but the overall experience has been below our expectations on numerous visits. It seems they made the venue as uncomfortable as possible, so they are able to have a quick turnaround of people. The bar at the very top has an open roof (so it gets chilly), yet they only sell cold drinks (also in the middle of the winter) and on the top of that- their drink selection is VERY limited. If they put some thought and creativity into it, they’d be serving warm drinks- mulled wines, mulled cider, teas, coffees and all sorts of alcoholic as well as non alcoholic drinks, but instead- you can only buy cold drinks, yet you have nowhere to sit and actually enjoy your drink and the view… The lower bar does serve warm drinks as well as cocktails, etc., but the queues are so long, the place is overcrowded, all seats are always taken (unless you come on a quiet day/morning) and there are always some visitors playing piano (not very well), so the whole atmosphere is rather unpleasant. It feels like some cheap (even though the prices are high) tourist trap. We got our coffees from the lower bar, walked up the flights of stairs and drunk our coffees in the bar at the top, but again- with nowhere to sit it just doesn’t feel like it’s a very welcoming place, which is such a shame and a missed opportunity in my opinion. It’d have been so beautiful if they had some decent mixed drinks/cocktails and perhaps warm cocktails, mead, hot cider upstairs… also some half decent music… but it seems it’s much more important for them to get a high volume of people in and out, fast ;)

A very nice experience, shame the view was not far reaching on my trip, but the talk from two chaos was entertaining and interesting. Drinks were extremely dear as one might expect.

This is the best 360 high elevation view in London. We went just before sundown so we could get views of both daytime and nighttime London. The pictures come out better in the daytime because there is a quite a bit of glare from the inside lights at night (unless you bring a towel or shade or something to put over your camera). You can see the Tower Bridge really well, and a great arial views of The Tower of London, HMS Belfast and River Thames. It also gives a bit of perspective as well on how truly large the metropolitan area of London is. However, the view from there at night is tough to beat. Everything is sparkling with lights and it's just so cool. They have some seating, but it is super limited, and they do not like if you sit on the ground (we saw some people told to get up). There is a bar, with some pastries and small bites as well. There is also another outside viewing area 3 floors above the inside one, but the views are similar and it still has glass all around, so the glare is still there in the night pics. There were a lot less people up on this deck though. I really enjoy the high elevation views of cities I visit, so I always go when there is one. This ranks a little better than average I would say, but not as large or informational as some of the other cities I've been to.

The view is perfect, probably best in London and one class better than Sky Garden. However, in contrast to Sky Garden, you have to pay to go up and the drinks are quite of higher price (20ish per drink). Also its a bit difficult to take good pictures because of double glass and dirty glass. Still an amazing view though!

Very nice views of London for 14 miles in every direction. Reasonable price when you consider you can't otherwise get those views without a helicopter. Elevators are extremely fast and there's plenty of room to see once you're up at the viewing deck. Friendly people working there makes the experience more enjoyable, too.

The tallest building in London and a must visit place if you are around town. A london pass can get you access to this location and pre booking is required. The view deck floor has a bar and drinks/food for you to enjoy and if you reach the place around sun down the view becomes spectacular on a whole different level. One of the best places I have ever been to.

This was an amazing experience. The views are stunning from both the 69th & 72nd floor. We entered the shard just before dusk, and stayed until it was dark, London looks so different at night. We had a quick tour f the views from Zia who was very entertaining and informative. Coffee and cake is no more expensive than a Costa. Thoroughly recommend doing this.

It was a truly nice experience to view this amazing city from the top of The Shard, and at night. . . Brilliant 👌🏼👌🏼 It was very easy to get in, go up and have the tour around the place. Next time, I will also try it in the daytime. One of the top things to do when in London.

Absolutely brilliant. Firstly make sure you do not turn up late or you can expect very long queues. Security is airport style removing bags, jackets and belts. There are 2 lifts to get to the top and they bother move at lightning speed. There are 2 levels for viewing. Level 69 is indoor which music, bar and seating. This level is quite tight when busy. Then you can go up to 72 which is an open top view which much more space. We timed it so that we were there for the sunset and got to experience the views in daylight and then the at nightime with the lights. 👌👌👌 Deffo worth doing.

Tickets for my Sister and myself were purchased two years ago and then Covid-19 happened. Needing to use those tickets as the extension period was coming to an end, we made plans. Taking into account work commitments, we decided that a Friday evening would be best for us. Luckily the day chosen had good weather and it was not too cold. Metropolitan Line to Finchley Road, then change across a platform to the Jubilee Line to London Bridge. Just sixteen minutes on the second train had us arriving at London Bridge. Heading out of the station, the way to The Shard was very clearly signposted and took only a few minutes. Passing quickly through a checkpoint outside, we were directed up a flight of stairs and into the Ticket Sales and Reception Area. Staff here were very helpful and we were quickly on our way. It became clear that the visitor procedures were clearly thought out with one-way routes and staff providing guidance and instructions on what to do. To get to the viewing areas located at, and above, the 68th floor, it is necessary to get two different lifts. The first takes you from ground level to the 33rd floor and after a short walk, the second takes you up to the 68th floor. Lifts were very smooth with little sensation of the speed we were travelling. A staff member drew our attention to a panel which showed our progress in each lift. Arriving on the 68th floor, it was possible on leaving the lift to get our first view over South-East London. As this was not a main viewing floor it was necessary to walk up some stairs to the 69th floor. Arriving there, those (like us) who had a particular type of ticket were treated to a glass of Moet & Chandon champagne :-). This floor allows you to walk around all four sides of the square building with views up to many miles in all directions. The River Thames, several bridges including Tower, London and Blackfriars, tourist landmarks such as The Tower of London, The London Eye, The Post Office Tower and more modern buildings including those in the City and over at Canary Wharf, all clearly visible on this sunny afternoon. One thing that was quite funny, seen from above, was the number of main-line railway stations and trains. It was just like looking down on a large model railway. Lots of photographs taken and then it was time to climb some more stairs up to the 72nd floor, which is open to the elements. Today it was quite breezy in places but very refreshing. Again, more photographs. After several laps identifying places, it was time to begin our descent. Down to the 69th floor, a couple of laps and down again to the 68th floor to get the lift back down. As before, the journey down took two lifts. Arriving at Ground Level you are directed out via The Shard Gift and Souvenir Shop. More spending here including a cloth bag for £ 1.00. Good quality and very good value. Was this a worthwhile visit ?, certainly a resounding Yes. How much time could you spend here ?, several hours could be spent matching places to memories and identifying landmarks. In honesty, probably not a good place to take very small children. Access for mobility impaired is quite good and there is plenty of space for wheelchair users. Is it worth the money ?, Yes but to get maximum value to need to do more than just look out of the windows. Would we come back ?, Yes.

Amazing Views, We manage to catch it around 7pm so seen it go from daylight to dark which was superb! Drinks was very reasonably priced too considering the landmark and location. Highly Recommend

We had tickets for the Shard as a wedding gift. We were very lucky and had a beautiful day to visit at the beginning of October. The views are of course incredible. There are plenty of photo points. Everything was clean and well maintained. We had one drink each but refrained from an ice-cream or any other food. The drinks were fairly expensive but I wouldn’t have expected anything else to be honest. Great experience and enjoyed being on the top open-air level.

Awesome views of London! It offers a really cool perspective of the city and all the places you've been during the day. It's a little pricey, so I'd suggest buying The London Pass, which includes a voucher to get in to The View. Since a ticket for just The View is half the price of the pass, and the pass gets you a bus tour and access to many other attractions, it's a no-brainer.

Stunning views of London, shame weather was poor so distance was limited. Champagne was great, staff polite and efficient. Lift was fast! But nothing compared to the beauty of my wife!

Wir waren kurz vor dem Sonnenuntergang gegen 15.15 Uhr dort. Erst einmal einen leckeren Kaffee mit einem Stück Gebäck. Dann due Aussicht genossen. Einmalig. Schön das die obere Etage quasi offen ist. Sehr zu empfehlen

Die Aussicht hier ist einfach nur spektakulär. Ich kann jeden nur empfehlen online ein Ticket zu reservieren man sollte unbedingt darauf achten dass man wirklich zur angegebenen Zeit allerhöchstens zehn Minuten vorher ankommt da man wenn man zu früh ist ansonsten entweder warten muss oder wieder weggeschickt wird. Tickets kann man hier vor Ort nicht kaufen! Die Attraktion ist nicht überlaufen und man wird recht schnell in das Gebäude geführt wo man anschließend eine Sicherheitsschleuse passieren muss, das Personal ist sehr sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Man wird von einem schmalen Korridor dann zu den Aufzügen gelotst wo man dann nach oben in das 68 Stockwerk mit dem Aufzug hochgeschossen wird, und was man dann zu Gesicht bekommt ist einfach nur phänomenal eine tolle Aussicht auf gesamt London an einem guten Tag.

Good experience and good high attitude point of view of London. A bit of a shame that the observation area is a little obstructed by the numerous window walls. The bar area is also very popular, which makes it a little complicated to be able to sit quietly around the few tables with chairs available.

Great experience and didn't need all the bells and whistles with the different packages, food and drink not cheap but reasonable for london. Won't find a better view..

Experiencing The Shard with my partner elevated the visit to a whole new level. The breathtaking views became even more special when shared with someone I care about. The intimate setting allowed us to appreciate London's beauty together, creating memories that will undoubtedly last a lifetime. The seamless organization and friendly staff made the visit enjoyable, and the modern ambiance added a touch of romance to the entire experience. The Shard is not just a remarkable structure; it's a perfect destination for couples seeking a unique and enchanting escape above the bustling city.

Amazing experience visiting the Shard View. Bought tickets in advance so no waiting and went straight up. A very relaxed atmosphere and everyone is so friendly. Amazing cocktails too 🍹

Bit of a dull day but still great views. Lift very quick to top. Airport security to get in. Drinks a bit pricey but to be expected in that location. Staff are lovely - chatty, happy to take photos if you and friends Overall a great experience

This is an amazing experience, there are a couple of bars at the top level so you can relax and spend some time when you get to the top. There are two indoor levels and an additional top level that "outside." You can see all of London. I would recommend this attraction any time of the day. If you do visit during the day they will let you purchase an additional ticket for later that evening for £12. There is a VR experience for the kids that does require an extra ticket. They seemed to enjoy it. We used our London pass to enter this attraction.

Incredible views. Fantastic staff. Took my disabled Mother (aged 86), and (Super) Simon Marsh (Duty Manager) spent nearly half an hour with us, helping my Mother locate London suburbs she knew from her childhood. He also found us seats to enjoy a glass of champagne 800ft up! Thank you Simon. An incredible experience. Spectacular by day, extraordinarily enchanting and absorbing seeing the cityscape lit by evening.

Had a really good time here. The view was amazing (obviously) and the place is great. Thanks so much to the hard-working bar staff, especially Sofia who was lovely and helped out me and my kids. Would love to return but I think it's a once in a lifetime thing.

İt's better than I expected it to be. beautiful views. A must if you want to see all of London from a bird's eye view. And No1 in things to do in London. Worth every penny. Lovely drinks bar also ice cream and snacks

Great views of London, from 800ft up in the air, although this obviously depends on the weather conditions. Sadly, the space inside the viewing gallery across the three separate floors is small and quite cramped, and can get extremely busy - even though most people have likely booked specific timeslots. The bars are expensive, although they do offer a fairly wide range of alcoholic drinks, and there is - or was - a small ice cream vendor too which serves(d) nice, flavoursome treats. £25 for each initial entry ticket is quite steep (and this is per person), considering the Sky Garden just across the river is completely free. The gift shop is also rather expensive, even for the most basic of gifts. Still, there are a wide range of gifts and souvenirs to purchase. We left feeling ever so slightly disappointed with the experience that had been hyped up by so many for so long. The weather was dry, but slightly cloudy, meaning the sunset views we had hoped to see weren't what we got. We went on a Saturday evening towards the end of July, and to say it was busy is an understatement. There were so many people that it was often difficult to get near a window to take in the view and take photos. The experience was good overall, however, and certainly isn't something you get to do everyday, so for that, I'd recommend it and am glad I've ticked it off the bucket list.

DO this NOT the eye, it is a more pleasant experience. Very quick que, advice do not choose a beverage until you go to the top. The choices are vast and the champagne is the same cost. That you photos with the guide. You go up 2 different elevators. First you go up 33 floors then up to 68. To reach the top you climd up and few flights or small elevator. There are maybe 5 bars on those floors total. The cocktails are fantastic, enjoy on whole at the top.

This place is so well run.. polite staff too. The views really are amazing.. We treated ourselves to a cocktail and enjoyed the show. Worth the admission price.

This is a must! Lovely bar at the top to take in all the views with a cocktail. Staff are lovely, and the whole experience runs seamlessly.

We always go around the world spending money to be at top viewing the beautiful city, but we never admire our own beautiful city. This so worth every money spent. London is really beautiful 😍

I recently visited The Shard in London, and the view from up there is mind-bogglingly high! The elevator ride itself, while not as thrilling as the experience in the Freedom Tower in New York, where they add a bit of motion, was a smooth journey. When you finally get off on the 69th floor, nice. I recommend trying the wine or champagne at the top for the full experience. And if you venture a few more stairs up from where they drop you off, you'll find an outdoor area with fake grass on the ground. It can get a bit chilly when the wind is blowing, but it offers some protection. The view is amazing, and there are plenty of photo opportunities. Just a word of advice: don't try to sit on the floor for a better shot; the security up there is quite strict, and they'll immediately make you get up. In the end, The Shard offers a truly elevated perspective of London, both in height and in views – a towering experience you won't forget! 🏙️🍷

So Nice view from the tallest building of London. One of the Bucket List. The View from The Shard is an observation deck located between the 68th and 72nd floors of The Shard, the tallest building in London. The View from The Shard consists of a triple level indoor gallery on the 69th floor and a partially outdoor gallery on the 72nd floor. It was opened on 1 February 2013 by the then Mayor of London, Boris Johnson. In its first year of opening, it was visited by 900,000 people and made a profit of over £5 million. The guy named Zia gave a marvellous presentation and explained about the Shard , from where the building was started from a Tissue.

Astonishing venue to visit even if you already live in London. It is a restaurant with amazing views, located on the 67 floor inside the tallest building in London: the Shard. You should buy tickets in advance, if not the wait will be too long. Btw, piss in the upper toilet, amazing views!

Absolutely stunning views of London and the surrounding area, we went at night, so harder to make out specific buildings, but seeing London light up was amazing, toilets, bars, on the main floor, then another couple of floors up you are outside but still pretty much covered, London looks fantastic at night.

The best view in the house of london.buy the all inclusive pass and get a free glass of moet and chandon.4 complimentary photos and no waiting in line.make sure to select the right day in terms of weather and the right time slot to get 360 degrees views in the day and night. Best time in summer is 1930 and 1530 in winter.spectacular and worth each penny.use this for a special occasion like a first date, anniversary or birthday or a family day out.

Absolutely worth it, IF you have the London Pass. So if you were going to pay full price, run away! Its kinda cool, but not worth the outrageous price tag. I also recommend going right at opening and being on the first elevator up. That gives you uncrowded access to the top platform for at least a couple min. Also be sure to hit up the bathrooms as you come back down. Its a fun view! I wouldn't go again unless I did not pay for it, but it was worth it with the London pass.

Can't wait to come back here.

An excellent adventure. The staff were so helpful. A brilliant opportunity to take photos of the London skyline as the weather changed.

Worth the price. The weather was a bit misty so you didn't get the long range views that you'd get on a clear day. But it's fun being that high up and looking down on everything else! The staff are very highly trained, there's 3 different floors to take on views from. There's not a great deal of walking round space and tables and chairs dotted around by the windows restrict the window space but if you're prepared to be patient you'll still get the view and great photos. There's toilets at the top, drinks bar and a gift shop at the bottom.

Great views but have to choose your time as the weather can ruin it otherwise. Helpful and friendly staff who genuinely seem to have an interest in making your visit enjoyable. Very inflexible booking system, which is very annoying.

Brilliant views and service from the bar staff. Views from the bathrooms are not to be missed! The queue was made a lot longer than it needs to be by the unavoidable photoshoot, which prevented people clearing the metal detectors. Thought too many people were allowed up at once as it didn't allow for much social distancing.

Fantastic view of the city, sadly not all floors open due to Covid.

The price is expensive for this view of London. The view from the Roof of the Sky Garden is good and completely free.

great time with glass of Proseco , amazing view and exellent service

Great experience

We had a spectacular time gazing at well-known parts of London, looking so minute! It was beautiful at around sunset & the drinks service was a great addition. It's enjoyable to just sit back & relax with a drink. Expensive but memorable.

the view from the shard was great but sadly under these covid times don't bank on getting food or drinks at the moment due to government restrictions, albeit a good time was had by all

Very, very expensive for what it is. The seats (which are outside) then had no cushions on them and you had to sit to be able to buy a drink

Amazing views and so much time to explore. Lift is supersonic and you feel your ears pop. Never used the bar but offer on for 2 glasses of champagne which would be nice 2 sip whilst taking in the breathtaking views

Stunning experience! Great birthday present

Great views weather perfect Socially distance good. Lift only 4 people allowed in at a time. Cocktails fab Security like an airport 👌

You can see all London

If I could give it a 0 rating, I would. My boyfriend and I bought the All-Inclusive tickets for 10th September to go up the Shard. We travelled all the way into London (which isn't cheap in itself) and had our evening planned around going up. It wasn't until we got to the entrance, which was closed, that we had to ask some random security on the street what was happening. We were told the Shard had been booked for a private booking and we couldn't go up. We had no e-mail, phone call, no communication. We had then wasted our time and money. I then decided to e-mail and ask for a refund and some compensation, something which should be a given considering we didn't get the service we paid for. After no reply to my first e-mail, I called customer service which was no help. I then sent a follow-up e-mail which still wasn't acknowledged. I then called multiple times, none of which went through and was directed straight to an answering machine. I then escalated this, even more, nearly two months later with no reply by writing a formal letter. It wasn't until then, I received my refund, only for the tickets, not for the travel expenses and to compensate for the inconvenience. I think it's ridiculous how you have to go out of your way to get a refund when it should be a given. Don't visit here, go to Sky Garden, it's free, cheaper drinks and the view is the same.

Excellent

Really great time first time visit, will go again

Overpriced but great service and a cool experience.

Amazing!!! The views are amazing absolutely worth the money!!! Highly recommended

Impossible to book online using a gift voucher. Impossible to get in touch. They don't answer to the phone and to the emails. There is a paid number, which I didn't try since, already having a gift vaucher, I don't think is fair to ask money for a call to who already paid.

Expensive for what it is and nowhere to sit and enjoy the view unless you're eating/drinking at the bar. So end up stood hovering for 20mins and then left

Great must be visited

Beautiful views and lovely cocktails. Definitely have the v.i.p treatment

(Translated by Google) To recommend to anyone (Original) Jedem zu empfehlen

The best spott for a complete view of London town.

Great experience. If you go in the evening you get the London by day and night.

It was absolutely fantastic

The view is tremendous even on the rainy day that it was , you can still see the iconic landmarks

Great experience, enjoyed every minute

Absolutely breathtaking lovely views and good cocktails

Is what it is

Great experience!

Beautiful view, everyone should go there at least once and enjoy the view

Breathtaking view!

Very disappointed with The view from the shard. We have made a booking of two for 10th September 2020 and time slot of 06:15 pm, we had to literally take private cab and spent 50£ so that we reach on time. After reaching the security didn’t even allow us to talk to reception and Moreover, the view from shard office was closed and there were no one to host or any responsible person to talk. The security informed that the tickets are automatically cancelled as there is private party going on there and we no longer are allowed to go even after having valid paid tickets. When called the shard for refund they told we can’t deal with any refunds and just gave us email id. When emailed they didn’t even respond. We lost the money, time and moment. We didn’t even get money back. I don’t understand shard is the famous place in the whole world and looking at such silly act made us very disappointed.

Amazing view of London

Top location . The only bad thing was the bartender at top roof bar , she was so , but so rude ...and I bought premium tickets ...

Helpful staff who looked after my Mum in a wheelchair. Efficient going up elevator process, all well organised. Top viewing deck is great, love the green floor. The lower one it's actually really hard to get a good view until you have a table. Shame both floors are really bars now, you could do with one having more landmark signs and info

It is a cute place and the view is great however I don’t think it’s Worth the price. I went there because my work place pay for it otherwise I will have never gone. As a Londoner I recommend going to the sky Garden. The view is very similar and the entrance is for free. The sky garden is beautiful full of plants restaurants and bars. Also you can actually see the shard because the sky Garden is literally just in front of the shard.

Amazing experience and the price you pay online wasn’t bad at all. It can get very busy in the bars though so be warned. Truly breathtaking. The souvenir shop sold some lovely items and they aren’t overpriced at all. If you don’t get a good viewing experience you can go back for free.

The View from the Shard is just AMAZING, been up there several times. Takes your breath away. On my visit last week, they have installed a bar on the 72nd floor, which is very nice, But I ordered 2 drinks which should have been £20.40, was charged £30.25. When I questioned the man at the bar, he looked up my order and said that it was correct, that it was service charge. For a very nice Young Man to bring my drinks a couple of metres. The drinks menu should make it clear that there is a Large service charge, without making People feel Uncomfortable.

Best view of London. A must see attraction. Totally worth the money. Pictures do no justice. Would recommend the night View something else. The staff a very friendly.

You can't get this view anywhere else but I would describe the overall styling of the bars and viewing area as New Jersey high school prom circa 2008. It's a little jarring compared to this kind of tourist attractions in other cities. The view is absolutely beautiful, so you don't need to.spend much time looking at the decor.

Obviously an amazing experience but it was too crowded the time I visited with my friends. May be because of the weekend but the views are incredible and the sunset is the best part. Was little cautious of the crowd. May be they should limit the number of people entering at the same time. It's worth visiting at least once. Hopefuly it's not that crowded during weekdays.

The view from the toilet is almost as good as it is from the top and I mean that in a good way. Expensive for what it is and expensive for drinks at the top. But also an incredible experience. With fantastic views across London. Just try not to expose yourself to the world from outside your toilet.

Great experience we had. On the day was really good. Lovely views

Amazing views. Went on a quiet day, no queues anywhere. Bar wasn't cheap but good selection. Well worth a visit. And the bog has the best view in the house!

Enjoyed going up the Shard with no queues on a Thursday evening. Went up for sunset and it was a clear sky so great views. No queues for drinks and wasn't too busy up on the viewing deck. Would pre-book for dining. Staff friendly and helpful.

The most spectacular views of London possible ! Difficult to get clear photographs through the somewhat reflective glass, but doable with a bit of effort. Cocktails are a bit pricy, but very good quality. A great place to book an hour before sunset ;-)

The view from shard is like a dream. Even in the night time. People can see the half of the city from here. The last floor for the visitors is floor 72. You can have some snacks and drinks in the top as they have bars and a cafe and you will get a security cheak before get in which is same as a airport cheaks. So be prepared to take off your belt and jacket. You can enjoy some snowfall every 15 minutes on the top floor. Its not real though but it gives you a great feel.

Obviously the views are great. All the staff encountered were very friendly and courteous. Timed it to get the sunset so enjoyed the sights in daylight, dusk and night. Only downside was the queue for the bar on the top deck was 20mins long when we were there. Having bought the premium package I'd have hoped for faster/privileged service.

Public viewing gallery - the highest in western Europe (apparently) - with what is possibly the highest Christmas tree in London! It can be a bit complicated to work out which ticket to get - particularly if you aren't interested in including a drink and just want a basic ticket. The ticket prices are quite high, but you can swap Tesco Clubcard vouchers online to help save money on tickets. It was a clear day, and the views were incredible (except to the areas where the sun was), and the man creating people in the queue was helpful and informative. It did take a while to get through the airport-style security, which meant most people in the 11 am time slot (first of the day) weren't even in a lift until 11.15. Staff take a couple of "green screen" digital photos before you get in the lift, which you can view and download using a code they give you or when you leave, you can pay £25 to have printouts slotted in a small souvenir book.

The staff outside kept us entertained whilst we waited to enter. Once in the security checks were quick and no hassle. We headed straight to the 72nd floor, which was the open to the elements. The view was breathe taking. A camera is a must. We were very lucky that it was a beautiful clear day and you could literary see for miles. We then went down to the 69th floor and it's amazing how everything seemed that much closer. We had taken the option for a glass of champagne each and sat down looking over HMS Belfast, Tower of London and Tower Bridge. An amazing experience the I strongly recommend to those living and visiting London.

This was an awesome experience that I would love to try again. The View was breath taking and the service was awesome too. The staff was friendly from the wntrance to the top of the view. We reserved a table and we were well taken of.

Definitely it's worth a visit. I went with some family members to enjoy the view. We went just before sunset to enjoy it from there. Really nice time and not crowded. We explored the different floors and then we had a bottle of wine sitting by the window while enjoying the view at night. Don't forget to use the toilets - a great view as well! :)

My sons took Me for my birthday celebration it was fantastic👍brought the photos it was absolutely amazing beautiful views definitely be coming back again. Thanks again to all the Team at shard London. Kind regards Lynn.

Really nice experience. Very efficient process to you from the ground up to the viewing floor. Lifts extremely fast and no queuing at all. Once at the top you have 3 different floors to view from, so no problem with blocked views. Bars to buy cocktails from, so you can sit and watch a magnificent sunset over London. I’ve visited many viewing platforms on my travels, but this is by far the best with London being the most amazing city.

Honestly I didn't have high expectations but I was so impressed with the experience. Very well done. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Cocktails were delicious. Highly recommended the aurora cocktail. Make sure you visit the loos

Absolutely amazing. Weather was perfect. The photos do not give the views justice. All I would say is £85 for 4 drinks is steep

One of the best experiences in London..amazing views...just.no words...and you can rest in the top in the bar and relax watching the skyline on London...amazing!!!!

Great view! But slightly disappointing sad bar atmosphere as you see everyone clutching a plastic glass of champagne you know cost at least £18...also couldn't you sell a hot drink on the upper 'open level'? (they are available downstairs but all the tables are all reserved as part of some of the packages available). Regardless its worth a look👍

It's a pretty unique experience. 👌 It's totally worth a visit. Went there a little bit before the sunset and only got out almost at closing time. Couldn't get my eyes off the amazing views. Definitely bringing my family up there next time.

Views were fantastic, weather had brightened up by the time we went up. You need to have a clear day to get the best views. I do feel it is overpriced for what it is however.

Great views, even from the loo's! It was a gift so don't know the cost, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. You weren't rushed at all. Although the large man bellowing at you all the time, while you were queueing for the lift, to "Move up! Move up!" Was very irritating & not really necessary.

Spectacular views! We did the river cruise and view from shard. We had a great guide (Zia) very knowledgeable about the buildings along the river, you could tell he loved his job. We then went to shard, the views were just spectacular, we had great weather for it, had an ice cream.

I absolutely loved the view from the shard. Highly reccomend as you get birds eye view of the city. Wish the weather was better but still a must see. We did have a cocktail pricey but it what I expected.

Really enjoyable experience. We visited on a Saturday and went through the entrance very efficiently and quickly. At the top there are bars and of course, amazing views of all of London. Lucky enough to have the weather on our side as well. The gimmicky photos can be purchased when coming back down which are £13 for just the prints. (Be prepared for expensive drinks - £16 per drink!)

Awesome experience. We had to book our visit online in advance to use our City pass. Slots are getting booked fast. Walking distance from Tower of London and London Bridge. We got free digital pictures on the way to the elevator (downloaded with a code), lots of souvenirs and a beautiful view of the city!!!

You have amazing views of the city from top of the tower (Floor 63). The is also a bar at the top to enjoy some drinks and have a wonderful time. The queues are well managed. I also liked the photography service that they offer (although a bit expensive for the album). Wonderful memories and a collection of photographs with you at different locations and scenarios in the Shard. You can pick them up on your way down at the exit. No long waiting times. Make sure to book your slot online before visiting. Friendly staff.

Absolutely loved this experience. £32 per person when we went up. Staff were excellent though. Views when the weather cleared a bit were amazing.

Extremely beautiful view. Very remarkable tower. Not cheap but for me it was worth every penny. I would love to have a tour through the whole building.....

Great view from all London, which is on the 72th floor, they got a bar with some nice champagne, the staff are nice and quite helpful. The only downside is the tight securety, most like the airport

A great experience especially at sunset as you see the sun setting on the horizon and London gradually lot up. Very friendly staff and a quick 10 min guide pointing to what you can see makes it all the vetter

The View from The Shard in London is simply breathtaking. As you ascend the towering structure, the city unfolds beneath you, revealing iconic landmarks like the Tower Bridge, the Thames River, and the sprawling cityscape. The panorama was stunning during sunset, casting a warm glow over the urban landscape.It offers a unique and unforgettable perspective of London, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking a remarkable city view.

Views Amazing. Tour by Zia was funny and informative. Lovely bar and friendly staff Well worth a visit and highly recommended
