LONDON – Tourism observers have confirmed that The Shard London offers a vertiginous viewing gallery near the top of western Europe’s tallest building, rewarding the brave with an extraordinary panorama and the nervous with a very firm grip on the railing.
The Shard London: Magnificent, Provided You Look Out, Not Down
The soaring glass spike beside London Bridge station, the Bureau of High Places notes, lifts visitors hundreds of feet above the city to a view so vast that the Thames looks like a ribbon and the famous landmarks shrink to a model village.
“The Shard London is breathtaking, in both the good and the slightly alarming sense,” said a spokesperson for the Institute of Elevated Tourism. “Visitors step out onto the gallery, take in a panorama stretching for miles, and feel like masters of the universe. Then they glance straight down at the tiny buses crawling below, experience a small wobble, and rediscover a sudden, fervent appreciation for solid ground. The view outward is glorious. The view downward is character-building.”
Visiting The Shard London
The viewing experience – detailed at The View from The Shard, listed by Visit London, and documented on reference pages like the Shard entry – sits near the very top of the landmark tower.
A survey by the Bureau found that 86 percent of The Shard London visitors rate the view as a highlight of their trip, and that a notable fraction admit to a brief moment of vertigo on first looking straight down.
“The Shard London gives you the whole city at once,” the spokesperson explained. “Just keep your eyes on the horizon if heights are not your thing.”
The Bureau confirmed The Shard London remains one of the capital’s great vantage points, ideal for anyone who wants to see the entire sprawl of the city laid out below, and is prepared for the small thrill of being quite so very high up.
