Hello there guys, welcome to my channel Travel Wonderful, my name is Giovanni and in today's
videos we are in one of the main attractions here in the UK, the View from the Shard, which
is one of the tallest buildings in all Europe and in the world, so let's find out together
what it looks like.
Enjoy the video, travel wonderful.
Designed by master architect Renzo Piano, the Shard has redefined London's skyline and
quickly established its place as a dynamic symbol of London.
Considered the tallest building in the UK and all Europe, in here visitors can experience
360-degree views over the city for up to 40 miles on a clear day.
Located moments from London Bridge and surrounded by the city's most notable attractions, the
High Life awaits you at the View from the Shard.
The easiest way to get by is taking the Underground, and it is only 3 stops away from Canary Wharf
and 3 stops away from Westminster.
So after a few minutes on the Underground, finally we have arrived to London Bridge Station,
which is located the Shard, the building that we are going to visit today.
So as you can see it gets really busy so make sure you arrive early.
Look at this view.
So once you enter you will go into a security sort of airport, security checks.
I honestly feel like I'm in an airport.
After all the security checks, you are going to be taken to a high speed elevator, which
is going to take you to the first part of the tour, which is the floor 68.
Wow.
So we just arrived to floor 68, I mean look at this amazing view, and we still got a few
more floors to go up.
So now we are going to the higher levels, the views on the 68, we still have to go up
to the 72.
The floor 68 features the Cloudscape, a feature about the different types of clouds over London,
while the 69th floor features interactive telescopes, a restaurant and a cafe, while
you enjoy the views in the 11,000 glass panels that cover all the building.
So we are going now to the 72 floor, which is going to take us to the Skydeck open air
view, so let's have a look.
Hey there guys, we just arrived to the highest point of the Shard, in the Skydeck air, level
72, and as you can see here there is bars and tables in which you can have a seat, while
you enjoy the lofty views in panoramic of London.
Enjoy.
The level 72, at a height of 800 feet, is the highest public level of the building.
The level gives 360 degree views around the building, and is partially open air, allowing
guests to see the pinnacle of the building.
Regarding the prices to enter, there are different types of tickets, which starts from £25 the
standard ticket, £33 the premium ticket, £25 per person the family ticket, and the
ultimate ticket which costs £79.
However, even the standard ticket allows you to go to all the exhibitions of the Shard.
So as you can see there is even this souvenir shop here, located in the Shard, once you
finish your tour through the Shard, at the very exit, you are going to walk through this
souvenir shop, so if you like to take some memories back home, here is the place.

It is important to note that apart from Observatory, the Shard is home to one of the most exclusive
hotels in all London, which is the Shangri-La Hotel, a very luxury 5 star hotel located
here in the Shard.
And it's also home of some of the most exclusive bars and restaurants of all London, like the
Aqua Shard, serving contemporary British cuisine and carefully crafted cocktails, with an amazing
view.
So after enjoying the lovely views of the Shard at the highest level of London, now
we are trying the Aqua Shard, which is an amazing and exclusive restaurant located on
the 32nd floor of the Shard, and it's known to be one of the most exclusive bars in all
London, so let's have a try.
So we just ordered our afternoon tea and look how lovely it is.
Enjoy a magical afternoon tea, inspiring Peter Pan, and in partnership with Great Ormond
Street Hospital Children's Charity, guests will be transported to an enchanted Neverland
on level 31st of the Shard, with specially crafted nostalgic sweets and savouries.
£2 from each afternoon tea sold will be donated to charity, to help seriously ill children
from across the UK who are treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Totally worth it, an amazing experience here at the Aqua Shard.
Even from far away, you can notice this amazing building, the Shard.
