The Shard – A Vertical City In London

The Shard, formally known as London Bridge Tower, officially opened to the public on February 1, 2013. During planning stages, its master architect Renzo Piano described the building as a “Shard of Glass”.

Standing at 309. 6 meters high, The Shard was the tallest building in Western Europe at the time of its completion.

The skyscraper is a vertical city with offices, private condominiums, a 5-star hotel, a spa and restaurants.

There is also a public viewing gallery on the 72nd floor at the height of 245 meters (804 feet).
