The View from The Shard
Attraction · London Bridge, England
The View from The Shard is entered from Joiner Street, SE1 9QU, and the operator gives London Bridge as the nearest tube. The operator states that opening times vary on occasion depending on events taking place and that last entry is one hour before the advertised closing time, and it publishes times day by day rather than as a weekly schedule, so none are given here.
History
Wikidata records the architect as Renzo Piano and a floor area of 127,000 square metres, and gives two heights: 306 m qualified as architectural height under the CTBUH criterion and 244.3 m on a second criterion. Wikidata also carries two dates for the opening, 5 July 2012 and 1 February 2013, with nothing to say which applies to the building and which to the viewing gallery, so neither is attributed here. The tower is not on the National Heritage List for England.
