"There are many unusual structures among London’s impressive skyline, but The Shard is the one that stands out the most. This unique needle-shaped construction stands at 1,017 feet tall, making it the highest building in the United Kingdom. Interestingly, it is made of 11,000 glass panels that take the window cleaners three months to clean. This famous skyscraper consists of offices, high-end restaurants, and the luxury Shangri-La hotel. The View from The Shard does exactly what it says after a quick 72-floor elevator ride. On a clear day, visitors can see as far as 40 miles. The open-air Skydeck provides unrivaled views, while the “slide” ride is a one-of-a-kind virtual reality experience that has you swooping above the city. Viewings take place every day between 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM." - MATADOR_NETWORK
