Hotel Leisure Break

Description

Enjoy quality time together on this romantic escape. Stand together with your heads in the clouds and witness breath-taking, panoramic views over the whole of London from the top of the tallest tower in Western Europe.

Piercing the skies above London, The Shard has quickly become a towering and iconic symbol amongst the city landscape. Standing a colossal height of 1,016 feet (310 meters) tall, The Shard, with its dramatic glass splinter-like form, has redefined the Capital’s skyline with its unique design.

The Shard will give you the opportunity to see London like never before. Take in unobstructed views of London’s most famous sights including Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, the Gherkin, the London Eye, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.
The visits start at ground level, as you step into the super-smooth kaleidoscopic lift and travel at high-speed up to the triple-height viewing platform on level 69. From here you can explore the sweeping views, set out on three spacious levels, with floor-to-ceiling windows on every side of the building to allow visitors the chance to gaze out at landmarks up to 40 miles away.

Walk all the way around floors 68 and 69, before heading up to the open-air Skydeck on level 72 - a viewing platform offering 360-degree views across the capital and beyond from a vantage point 802 feet (244 metres) above street level, where you can both enjoy a glass of champagne and gaze up to the very top of the building as the shards of glass that form the spire disappear into the sky. Exposed to the elements, you can take in the atmosphere and sounds of the bustling city below, before returning back to the ground floor.

State-of-the-art interactive touchscreen telescopes enable you to explore the views in greater detail, with information about 200 landmarks and alternative day, night, sunrise and sunset filters. The Shard’s team of knowledgeable Guest Ambassadors are on hand to answer any questions you have and will help bring the view to life.

This is a one-night stay for two people, including breakfast at a premium London hotel, entrance to ‘View from The Shard’ a glass of Champagne each and audio guides in eleven languages.

Please Note:

Your Entrance to the Shard is a fully flexible ticket. This means that you do not need to advise a time for your visit to the Shard, you are free to visit at any time on the date you have selected. At very busy times, you may encounter a short wait before entering.
