The Shard London’s Tallest Building
Soaring 310 metres above the London skyline, The Shard is the city’s tallest building and one of its most striking modern landmarks. Designed by architect Renzo Piano and completed in 2012, this glass skyscraper dominates the South Bank of the River Thames and has quickly become an unmissable attraction for visitors to the capital.
The highlight of any visit is the View from The Shard, a spectacular Skydeck located on floors 68 to 72. From here, guests enjoy panoramic, 360-degree views stretching up to 40 miles on a clear day with landmarks such as Tower Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, the London Eye, and even Windsor Castle visible in the distance. By night, the experience is equally breathtaking as London’s lights sparkle beneath you.
The Shard is more than just a viewing platform. It is home to world-class restaurants, bars, offices, and the luxurious Shangri-La Hotel, making it a hub of dining, leisure, and culture in the heart of the city.
As one of London’s top 30 must-see attractions, The Shard is a perfect stop on any sightseeing tour. With Big Ben Coaches, travelling there is simple and stress-free.
