Opened on February 1, 2013, the View from the Shard is a two-level deck (the first enclosed, the second partially open to the elements) on floors 68 to 72 of the Shard, offering Londoners and visitors with a good head for heights panoramic, 360-degree views across the capital and beyond (up to 64 kilometres, or 40 miles in old money, on a clear day) from 244 metres (800 feet) up; almost twice the height of any other viewing point in London. Visitors travel in high-speed lifts that take just 30 seconds to reach the 'View', which also features multimedia displays and installations. The experience includes tongue-in-cheek illustrations of famous Londoners past and present, including Margaret Thatcher and Karl Marx on a tandem and Vidal Sassoon and Vivienne Westwood giving Charles I a makeover. At ground floor level there are video screens and display panels showing digital maps of London and film footage of city life. In a decidely upmarket twist on elevator muzak, a soaring anthem recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra and the Joyful Company of Singers provides the soundtrack to the ascent. In the viewing galleries, digital 'Tell:scopes' with large touchscreens enable visitors to explore the city around them in real time, identifying famous landmarks and places of interest, as well as offering annotated alternative day and night-time views of the capital.

I went up there on the opening day last friday and it was all a big mess. We had tickets bought long time in advance and we still had to queue for 45 minutes! it is not a proper viewing gallery, it just looks like an empty office space, the view is amazing but obstructed by the double glass, dirty windows and structure of building. As for pictures, forget it..theres no even a single gap or space for cameras like in many other observation decks in usa or dubai! not worth the price at all! did i mention there is only one toilet and it is next to box office?

London deserves cheaper attractions. Certainly not worth that kind of money. I don't have a friend who would like to spend that kind of money on Shard.

You think £25 is bad, that's for an advance ticket. I went past today and the entrance fee for going straight in is £100!! Irving Sellar's ego knows no bounds. I've been to taller buildings and seen an amazing view in sumptuous surroundings for the price of an orange juice in the bar!

We are from Melbourne Australia. To go up to our Eureka Skydeck and out on 'the edge' it costs £54.00 for a family of 2 adults and 2 kids. Bit of a shame about this price for a new attraction.

Latest and best example of rip-off London. It's the price that's breathtaking not the view!

Agree with comments on here about the astronomical pricing. No discount for seniors, no family ticket discounts. Hopefully the price will come down in a couple of months.
