The View from The Shard

Lucky we picked the right day to go up Shard View . Best views & beautiful sunset . Go around 430pm & stay through sunset & evening to catch the changing light of the cityscape .

Best time to go is in the evening, before sunset : you'll see the city in different 'lights'. If you know your schedule, book online before midnight for a discount . You may stay over the 30 mins slot.

Book online to avoid disappointment. Check out the open air level too! Queue was pretty much none existent, took 5 mins to get in. Amazing views day & night, well worth the money. Stayed for 3 hours!

Consider this a must-see attraction in London! Go just before sunset . Note: in the colder seasons, bring a jacket or coat. The very top floor is partially exposed. It can get a little chilly!

Drink champagne whilst taking in the breathtaking views across London. There is a small gift shop at the top and a larger gift shop with a wider selection at the entrance before the lifts

Loved the view it is really amazing and totally worth it - please if you are not used to cold weather, take a jacked with you - it gets coooooold

There's a considerable price difference between booking in advance either online or at the ticket office and purchasing tickets on the day. Its worth planning ahead, even if it's 24 hours .

Amazing views ...after battling the hustle and bustle of daily life in the city it's lovely to rediscover the beauty of the city from a different perspective.

Didn't feel quite as high as I imagined, but enjoyed the views nevertheless. Can get crowded , but to ease the pain, get a glass of champagne with your ticket! ;)

This is definitely one of the best lookout towers in Europe, if not the world. And London is a great city to look down to.

Great views , go just before sunset . Climb the stairs to floor 72 to be outside at the top of the tallest building in the European Union.

London's tallest building and some spectacular views over the city ! there are also 3 restaurants in the shard too, slightly lower level but still great views

Best view in London. Would recommend going at night as the best time to appreciate it. May seem pricey but worth every penny when you're up there.

Fantastic views but make sure you book your tickets in advance. Afterwards stroll down to the Thames for great views of Tower Bridge and the Tower of London.

Bonus: ask for using fire exit. It takes 10 minutes to get from 33 to 1st level.

Quite expensive tickets, but the best view at London from highest building in Europe. Catch sunny weather and promotional discounts !

If the view is cloudy or rain shuts off the top floor, mention it to staff . They will give you a coupon to go back again - free of charge.

Worth the £25. A great view and you can stay as long as you want admiring it.

Highest point in Europe. Must do if you're in London.. Go to the 72nd floor first before coming down. And brace yourself its cold on top.. :)

there is a secret bathroom at the top, providing the best view from any toilet seat in London. Ask the staff at the top.

The best view of London . There is a bar and You can buy a bottle of champagne

Amazing views - as you'd expect. But pricey ! £25 per person, plus another £25 if you want the cheesy greenscreen photo and a digital copy too. Still, to do once I'd recommend it.

Magnificent view from the top! Must do if u like such experiences. The staff was extremely nice and helpful.

A bit expensive but worth every penny. The top floor is like a roof bar so expect people sat on the windows = not easy to stay close tothem

Absolutely fantastic - well worth it. It's like being in a plane over London but actually having the time to enjoy the view !

Absolutely stunning! One of the must-see attractions in London. Book your tickets in advance to make your entry smooth as silk .

Make sure to use the Loo with a View ! Floor 68

Nice to see all London, definetely better view in a sunny day but you must be very lucky for that in this city

Grab a gelato or a drink from the bar on the top floor.

Beautiful view , delicious ice cream at the top. There is also a bar and other food stands .

Amazing view at an expensive cost. It's worth going there once to see the whole of London, as it is quite an amazing sight. Don't forget to reserve your ticket in advance! And try going at sunset

Buy online to save money and then book in advance to guarantee your time of visit. The views are worth every penny, just amazing.

Amazing viewpoint of London! Make sure to book your tickets in advance online to save some $$$

A truly sublime spot! Try to be there for sunset and don't forget your headphones and good music !

Amazing view of London !!! Not only for skyscraper fans, it's a real thrilling experience to be up there. Must-see!

So lovely and cool ...my best time at London....i feel like a dream????

Great view over London, compare it to Empire State Building view in NYC. But quite expensive (29,90 £) to go up and down in less than 20 minutes...

the best place for the best sunset view in London :-)

Feast your eyes on the most beautiful city in the world from this outstanding view

Expensive, but the view is amazing. Do try the toilets with the glass exterior wall between the two lifts to the top.

Very touristy , but a gorgeous view nonetheless.

Cloudy but bright , the lift goes to level 69 but you can actually get up to level 72

The view is breathtaking, and when the sun begins to set, it's magical. Shame there's nowhere to sit, and no bar !

Expensive for what it is, but booking cheaper tickets in advance through a discount site is risky as it might be cloudy on the day you go and you spent your money at no view at all...

Book tickets in advance at as all slots are usually booked if you just turn up: http://www.theviewfromtheshard.com/

Buy the tickets 1 day in advance. You save about 5£. Can do that online aswell. When leaving, avoid absolutely paying £20 for a photo taken of you at the entry. Bad quality and overpriced.

A great idea if you're into views , otherwise avoid this pricey attraction . Make sure not to book too much in advance as the weather forecast needs to be clear.

go during the week lunchtime..check weather day before

Brilliant, unique perspective of London. I recommend going at sunset .

Might sound silly but wear a dark coloured top, otherwise your reflection will end up in all your photos !!
