Despite living in London for the past five years, this was my first time visiting The Shard’s viewing platforms, and I had a really lovely experience. Seeing London from so high up gave me a completely different perspective on the city I call home. The panoramic views were the highlight, and it was a great experience to share with a friend. The height is certainly noticeable, so it may feel challenging if you’re afraid of heights. For anyone comfortable with that, it’s a memorable way to discover London from above, whether you’re visiting the city or have lived here for years. I received this experience complimentary through GetYourGuide’s creator programme.

Nous avons visité de nuit ! C’est incroyable 😻 cette vue sur Londres avec une ambiance cosy musicale ! Après cela reste cher au final mais à faire
