Tickets open for “The View from The Shard”

5 Jul 2012 by BusinessTraveller
With Europe’s tallest building celebrating the completion of its exterior this evening, tickets for the 224-metre high View from The Shard experience will open tomorrow, for visits from next February. The experience will cost £24.95 for adults and £18.95 for children, and will open to visitors from February 1, 2013. Visitors will start at level 68 (accessed via two high-speed ‘kaleidoscopic’ lifts that take 30 seconds to reach the level), with guests then heading to the triple-heighted level 69 which The Shard says will offer views up to 40 miles away. Visitors can also go up to level 72 for views “exposed to the elements and sounds of the city beneath”. The experience will offer a vantage point “almost twice as high as any other viewing point in London”. Tickets go on sale at 0900 BST tomorrow (July 6), with customers pre-booking arrival dates and time slots. Ahead of this a laser show will celebrate the official completion of The Shard’s exterior this evening. When fully completed The Shard will house offices, restaurants, residences, and London’s first Shangri-La hotel, located on floors 34-52 of the building.
