London´s hottest tourist attraction – The Shard

One of the most popular tourist attraction in London these days is the Shard. And I can understand why. It is London’s highest building and it has a spectacular view! As you would expect from a building which is 310 meters tall.

It is very easy to find the Shard, as you can see the tall building from all over London. But if you take the London Underground to London Bridge Station, then you are right there. You can´t miss it.

As this has become such a popular tourist attraction, I would recommend pre-booking tickets to the Shard before going to London. Then you do not have to wait in a long queue and you can select which date and time to go to the top. This is a perfect way to start planning your London adventure and to make sure that you don´t miss out on anything. And if you are feeling in a festive mood, you can also buy a glass of champagne to enjoy with the view.

The Shard has three viewing platforms – they are situated on the 68^th, 69^th and 72^nd floor. My favourite was of course the view from the 72^nd floor, which also has a nice breeze and it is slightly open at the top.

The prices are a bit expensive, in my opinion, but very much worth it if you visit the Shard on a clear day. The view really is spectacular and you can apparently see as far as 64 kilometres, which is not too bad! And even the bathroom has a great view!

The Shard is not only a viewing building, but it also has several offices, restaurants and people permanently living there. But for tourists I think it will always be the building with the fantastic view!
