It is twice the height of any other viewing platform in London. It offers visitors 360-degree views.

I have written a blog all about my two-day trip to London. The main reason was to visit the Canadian Embassy but the highlight was my visit to The Shard.
My Granson had told me all about his experience there. He loved it.
