History
The Shard, completed in 2012, is Western Europe’s tallest skyscraper at 1,016 feet (310 meters). Designed by architect Renzo Piano, its distinctive glass façade inclines inward without meeting at the top, allowing the building to “breathe” naturally. The Shard has become an iconic feature of London’s skyline, representing modern architecture and engineering excellence.
Its 72nd-floor viewing platform offers unparalleled panoramic views of the city, from historic landmarks like Tower Bridge and St. Paul’s Cathedral to the River Thames stretching across London.
