It was fine. I was expecting a little 'more' but really you're paying an entrance fee to get into an overpriced bar on a very high floor, lol. The day I went was super cloudy (which is not the fault of the Shard, and is to be expected in London, but did put a damper on the experience). The entrance is well organized, though I was a little confused because I had the London Pass and thought that was my entry, but I had to go get a ticket-staff was friendly and helpful here. Of course they make you pose for the souvenir photos you can pay for at the end-I wasn't overly impressed with mine. Once you take the elevators up (yes, you have to take two elevators due to the shape of the building) it opens up onto a bar that goes all the way around the building. There are a few high-top tables and some standing tables/counters along the wall. On a Friday evening those were all packed. They did have some servers walking around, but I had better luck just walking up to the bar. I did get one of their signature drinks but it was messy (it was spun sugar to mimic clouds, and then you poured champagne over it). If you take the stairs up a couple more flights, you can go to a smaller, quieter area that open at the top. Once I found that, it was much nicer because I actually had room to take pictures (there are no tables up there). It was kind of cool that it was open at the top, too (I was there in late summer so it was still warm out). Overall, it was a neat experience, but not for the price. I'm glad I did it as part of the London Pass, as I would have been less than happy to have paid for it outright. If you're looking for a birds-eye view, the London Eye or the Tower Bridge were much more impactful to me (and cheaper).
Waste of money. I bought ticket to The Shard's observatory deck because everywhere I travel to, especially a big city, I want to see the skyline. Thus, I chose The Shard for this experience, which ended up being a waste of time and money. I purchased tickets ahead of time online, which is good. But the entrance to the observatory was difficult to find as there are multiple entrances at The Shard, such as the hotel, office buildings, restaurants, etc. Later on, I learned the entrance was on the side of the building where people were lining up at their timed entry. I went up to the highest point and could not see a damn thing due to fog. But of course, the employee who was telling us about our visit said that this was a "positive sign" because it indicated that the clouds will clear up as it did the previous day. He even said that we could get a refund if we never see a view. After hanging around with no movement or signs of clearing, I asked that same employee about the refund he had mentioned. He told me that they could do that, but I'd need to talk to the ticket counter about that. Therefore, I went to the ticket counter where you first enter the building, reiterating that I'd like a refund since this was my last day in London and there's no view. The staff told me that to get a refund, I'd need to contact the general contact line that was in my e-mail. So again, I was told contrasting information. The staff there even said that the fog never cleared the day before, which is opposite of what the employee at the observatory deck said. So basically that was another lie as if to give us all false hopes. I then contacted the general line for a refund and they told me that they can't refund me because there is no refund policy for weather. But I can come back for another visit by March. Okay well, I don't live on this continent. Multiple staff at The Shard told me I could get a refund since the view was never seen, but that was all a lie. What a waste of money!
Since it was not raining we decided to go here. The shard provides the highest view of London. I heard the view here are better than the ones at the Sky Garden. At the top you get 360 degree views of London. You can also purchase some refreshments too while looking at the views. They have coffee, cocktails and also ice cream.
We got the Go-City Pass to go into The View from the Shard. The 360 degrees views of London were spectacular, especially on a clear day. We stayed near Hyde Park so we took the tube from the Circle Line to the JB Line toward the London Bridge. The Shard is right outside when you exit the tram station. Once they scanned your ticket(s), the Shard team will scan your belonging for security reasons. Then they will take your photos for purchase when you're ready to leave. After that, you will go up 2 elevators, one to the 30th floor and the other to the 69th floor. the elevator moves at the speed of light, you get from floor 1 to 30 in like 5 seconds. You can also walked an additional 3 flights of stairs to go up to the 72th floor. The Shard consists of a triple level indoor gallery on the 69th floor and a partially outdoor gallery on the 72nd floor. The shard also food and drinks to purchase on the 69th floor in case you wanted a bite. If you're on the 72th and you look at the building peak, you can get vertigo because it looks like the building is moving, which is pretty cool and scary! The 72th floor is very windy but the views were still amazing nonetheless. The building architecture is very modern. It looks like a spire sculpture with exposed beams and bracing. And it is all glass so from afar, it looks like a glass pyramid! I thought of views of London was amazing from up above since you can see every historical landmarks including Big Ben, London Bridge, London Eye, The Walkie Talkie to mention a few....
We went on a cloudy day but there was decent visibility. Based on the time of year and the fact it was a Monday we didn't have any issues getting in; there wasn't a ton of folks. This might sound rediculous but definitely go to the bathroom up stairs there. There are private stalls with beautiful views! The drinks and snacks are extremely overpriced but it was nice to sit for a bit, enjoy a drink and then view. Since you paid to get up there you should enjoy the view. The only major negative is the folks trying to sell you the pictures at the end. I just wanted to look through them but the woman (sales person) would go away. For that they get 1 star but otherwise it's a nice experience. #london #viewfromtheshard #theshard #londontourist #londonviews #wonderlust #loveoftravel #londonpass
If you purchased the London Pass to many of the sightseeing sites of the city, a visit to the Shard is also included. The skyscraper, standing 309.6 meters (1,016 ft for u'murricans) is named for the jagged edges of its design, as if it were a shattered piece of glass. It is a tapered, glass encased tower that looks like it is stabbing into the sky and is currently the tallest in the UK. Accessible from the London Bridge station of the Underground, we arrived to check into the visitors reception to ride the 2 elevators (with a transfer on floor 33) up to the observation deck. It was a fairly windy day with high altitude passing clouds that opened up occasional rays of sunshine, so we were able to get a good view of the city. The 2nd elevator opens up on the 68th floor to the fully enclosed observation deck that has a full 360° view of the city. There is also a cocktail & coffee bar, if you want to purchase refreshments. The area is a great venue to be rented out for cocktail parties with a baby grand piano at the NW corner. Down below, you can spot famous sites such as Big Ben, the London Eye, Tower Bridge, Tower of London and HMS Belfast on the River Thames. Other buildings are identified by the panoramic photos above each window face. I was looking for the Gherkin but it was obscured by the buildings in between, but we were able to spot the Battersea Station to the southwest by its chimneys. Make sure to bring a nice long telephoto lens for your camera or your phone camera has a good zoom ratio to get nice detailed shots. We even able to spot our lunch destination at the nearby Borough Market down below. Next, you can climb up the wraparound stairs up 4 more floors to the open air observation level. There is an auxiliary lift to go up there, but it is reserved for handicap use. On a chilly, windy day, we couldn't take more than a few minutes up there, grab some more pictures and head back down. When you're ready to take the elevator back down to earth level, you can check out your group photo taken when you entered and buy your souvenirs at the gift shop. I bought a sheet metal model of the Shard that I'll have to assemble to commemorate our visit.
The Shard is the tallest building in the UK. It is supposed to look like a shard of broken glass. It's a beautiful structure that is very distinctive addition on the London skyline. It's totally worth paying to go to the top and checking out the city views. Although seeing a view is similar to other tall buildings, I enjoyed the aerial view of the Tower Bridge, Big Ben, the London Wheel, etc. Also, they had some nice "instagram-like" props like a wall of flowers, throne, and phone booth. They also give every visitor some free digital pictures of the visit. Good quick attraction with light crowds. Recommended.
The Shard offers excellent views of London. It's very high up so if you're not a fan of heights it may be best to skip. But if you love heights and feeling the wind on your face (if you go to the very top) then you'll love this! Some heights make me nervous, but I felt very safe from the viewpoints. You can spend a little extra and get a glass of champagne. Would recommend for any traveler

Pay $100 to have to fight to see out of a window. You are better off going to the hotel near by and getting a drink. Better view and cheaper Also line of 6 people to use the restroom, my nose unexpectedly started bleeding so I had to use a sink and it was a total nightmare read more

This is a must, and I would recommend to go just before sunset and plan on spending 1-1/2 hours up there to have the spectacular view over the city not only in one particular light but both, daylight and night illumination. And since there is a bar and café up there as well, one can easily spend that time in awe and without suffering famine... PS: easily reachable with public transportation. On-line reservation... read more
Magnificient 360 degree views of the London skyline from the 72nd floor including Big Ben, London Eye and Tower Bridge. Champagne offered for a fee with your ticket. Fyi: prior to entry, everyone will be checked for contraband. Great attraction for everyone. read more

This is the place to get the views. It is 1000x better than the London eye and it's cheaper. My kids even at ice cream at the top. So many photos. Go here instead of the eye. read more
This is probably the best views of London you can get, better than Sky Garden. I loved the bathrooms with the overlooking views from the windows. One of the best bathrooms I have ever been to. Loved that this is higher than the restaurants at the Shard, which charges a minimum to dine. read more
Meh, it was just OK. Friendly staff and I especially enjoyed the tour guide who gave us the history of the Shard. However, the whole experience was underwhelming. I was in and out literally in 30 minutes. Tourist trap alert! read more
The Shard is amazing! On a clear day you can see the outskirts of London too. Be sure to book your reservation early and get there on time. The elevator is closed but one has a glass view at the top. Their is a restaurant and bars at the top with delicious drinks. Loved their drinks. I forgot to take a picture of mine but the name was Guava Mane... it was shaken and fantastic. There were three selfie walls and countless couches and seats to rest. Two levels of views; on the 68th floor it closed from the outside elements, while the 72nd floor is open to wind and everything. They even had fake snow. Recommend the trip up for the whole family. read more

We were recently in London on our honeymoon and during our trip we did a VIP tour of the view from the Shard. We had the absolute pleasure of getting Michael M. as our tour guide. They really made the perfect choice with him, he was not only extremely knowledgable but also very personable. He explained everything in a way that was enjoyable and not boring at all. I would highly recommend the tour but i would request Michael if you want to make your tour great!! read more

The Shard provides guests with the highest views from London. It's similar to the Vanderbilt in NYC except that it lacks the activities from the Vanderbuilt. The drinks were great. Buy the fast pass to avoid crowd. read more

Great view, of course. Cool way to understand London's layout. Well run. Not crowded when I went at sunset (the best time to go, see day, sunset and nigh time lights). You can stay as long as you like They are both outdoor and indoor viewing floors. There are bars but no food. Architecture buffs will enjoy the unusual and beautiful building itself. Staff was almost friendly Pricey. $40 a person. read more
The views are nice but the experience as a whole was a bit lackluster for me. The Shard is a fairly new building and currently holds the rank as London's tallest building. While the views are charming, I found it to be overcrowded and unexciting. First off all, expect to wait because the lines can get ridiculous. I'm sure if you come early in the morning, the wait won't be as bad. I went about 2 hours before closing and the line was still pretty long. The view from the Shard was included in my LondonPass, but the regular prices for the visits are insane. If I didn't have the LondonPass, I would not be paying those high ass prices. If you have a LondonPass, you'll have to stand in the same line as everyone else regardless. Once you make it to the ticket desk, they'll print you a paper ticket, and then you'll proceed to the security check. After that's done, you'll head up two different elevators (one stops and then they'll switch you to a different one). The Observation deck is located on the 68th floor, but they also have the sky deck which is located on the 72nd floor. I must have come on a good day because there was actually a SUNSET in London that evening! Unfortunately, I could barely see it because everyone and their mama was blocking the view. It gets waaay too crowded in there. The observation deck is all glass. I don't mind these kinds of observation decks, but I prefer the ones that have an outside area. It's hard to take pictures and sometimes to even really see out of the windows. Many of the windows were dirty with fingerprints and hand smudges. The interior is small with extremely limited seating. They have a bar on both floors, but the drinks are pricey. They actually gave me a coupon for a glass of champagne for £11. Still pricey, but I figure that I'd take the discount. The lady preparing the drinks at the bar told me that I could get unlimited drinks at that price. I did a double take and asked her if she was sure. In my mind, thought she was saying that I could get unlimited drinks for £11. But what she actually meant was that I could come back and get for each additional drink for £11. Maybe I just misheard her, but I thought that was kind of shady. She had already made the drinks, so I just coughed up the £22. I probably would have only gotten one if I had understood her correctly. But anyways, what I saw of the sunset was nice. The night time view is pretty too, but the horrible glare from the lights in the glass makes it less enjoyable. All in all, this was average for me. I've been to a few other observation decks, and this one just wasn't one of my favorites. The view from St. Paul's Cathedral was so much better. At least I can say that I did it, but it's a one and done for me. read more
We arrived just after lunch on a Thursday in June and it took about 20 minutes of waiting before we were speeding up in the elevators. Fortunately it was a fairly clear day so we could easily see all the way to the horizon. There were lots of staff photographers wandering around happy to take our photo, and sell us copies. They also have green screen options taken in the lobby before going up... they were all kinds weird looking so we didn't bite. If you're on the London Pass, we asked about our free digital copy (as listed in the catalogue) and they said that's not a thing. But back to the sights. Amazing! I could have spent all afternoon hanging out. There's an open air park with imitation grass to sit on and eat ice cream cones... and just look out on the city from the 72nd floor. We didn't do it, but there's an upgrade option to come back in the evening for a discounted price, and I bet London is amazing to see lit up. Very easy to spot the London Tower, and Tower Bridge. read more
Not going to front, the view from the Shard was pretty amazing. I personally would never pay £32 (!!!) to ride an elevator up 68 floors but it was included on our London Pass and also just a few blocks from our apartment. Know if you go that they're open pretty late most nights if you prefer a "city lights" view instead of a day view. You'll have to take 2 elevators and once there you'll be on the 68th floor. There are additional viewing areas on 69 & 72 but you have to walk up stairs to get to them so ADA access is pretty limited. The highest floor is also open on top. While you're up there, you can grab a drink from the overpriced bar (£14 Champagne flutes). My recommendation is to definitely use the toilet as the stalls have floor to ceiling windows. A loo with a view! read more
The Shard is certainly a London icon, and fantastic to behold (and use as a reference point) from all around the city. Going UP in the Shard is also a cool experience, though certainly with tourist-level prices. You can see incredibly far from the top, though in my opinion it's not worth the £30+ price of admission. Plus, the view is missing one important thing -- the Shard itself! Overall a nice experience, but certainly passable if you want to save some money. Try the free Sky Garden across the river instead? read more

Finally able to go up the Shard after walking by it for 2 days in a row to see major lines that had 45+ minutes wait. Came at around 11 am so there was no line to get into the building. Reached the open and closed air observatory level with 2 different elevators. The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking. You can really see all of London as the walls are entirely made out of windows so there's access to views on all sides. Bonus that it's located right next to the James river so you can see all the infamous bridges. We went on a slightly cloudy day but even then you are able to see so much of London. Honestly one of my favorite parts is watching the metro system - so impressed by London's public transportation. Definitely a must come if ever in London. I do have to say though that sunset would probably be the best time to come if you don't mind waiting because you get to see the beautiful views of the city in the daytime and the night lights. You can really spend either 20 minutes or 3 hours up there. Also make sure to go the bathrooms. I know, weird but even the bathrooms have a phenomenal view. read more

Book in advance to avoid lines and save a few £! Awesome view, seem much better than the London Eye because it's a lot higher up (72nd floor I think). Really incredible, up close w/ the River Thames. Great view of the London Bridge and really easily accessible from the London Bridge tube station (directly above it.) I will say it's a bit pricey but I think it was worth it. read more
I am a sucker for the touristy activities when visiting new places and this one did not disappoint. If this is not your thing, be forewarned,there are crowds and wait times. It was pretty straightforward to get to from the underground rail and then a walk (we stopped at the Bagel Factory for brunch and coffee along the way...also worth it!). Absolutely amazing views of all of London. We weren't in town long as this was a last-minute added stop, so getting this view made up for the sights we weren't able to get to this time. Santa even made an appearance :). We recommend visiting during your London adventure. read more

On our trips to London I always said to my partner we must go up there one day. I re4ceived a Christmas present of a champagne visit from her. Unfortunately, this was delayed due to the Covid19 pandemic and The Shards closure. I will say the staff at the booking office have been great in changing dates on a couple of occasions. Going through security was easy. Followed by photographs in front of the green screen for the background to be added. The trip up in the first lift followed by a further journey in the second was quick and smooth. Glad we decided for a daylight visit as, when we left it was sunset, the queues were long at the entrance. All those people wanting to see London at night. We were lucky, we had reservations for dinner in Oblix and would see it while we ate. When we arrived at the viewing platform we wondered where to get our champagne. There were no directions on where or how to convert our tickets to glasses of bubbly. We sat at a free table and this is where we found how it worked. Linda, came over and explained. My telephone number was taken and when a free table was available she would ring me. Maybe this should be explained on booking or on the ticket. I think , maybe, Covid19 was to blame. We wandered up to the next level. The views are spectacular, even for one that has lived in London for 75 years and seen so many changes. My phone rang and Linda showed us to a table. After a while the champers arrived. I wanted to order a cocktail as I don't drink champagne (really hits me LOL) but was told I couldn't as I had the champagne. I think, maybe, it was a language problem. I ordered through their app and QR on the table. We had a few more which, I think surprised the barman. He must have been used to people just having the one on their ticket. Cocktails were really good and real cocktails not the watered down variety. TIP try The Great Fire cocktail. Fire, it certainly has with the chilli flakes, and a kick. A nice few hours spent. Pics, taken at the start, are good and a memory. Bars are brilliant. Thanks Linda for your guidance. As I have said, directions should be written down to avoid confusion. read more
