The View from The Shard is London's highest viewing platform and sits at the top of Western Europe's tallest building. At 244 metres, it's almost twice the height of any of the capital's other vantage points. On clear days, you get 360-degree views for up to 40 miles. The lift takes you from Level 1 to Level 68 in 60 seconds. There's an open air sky deck on Level 72.
