Highlights
Ever wondered what London looks like from 244m above sea level?
Almost double the height of any other viewing platform in London, The Shard offers an unbeatable view of the capital. It’s the perfect way to see the city after exploring the iconic sights of Westminster close-up!
First, you’ll meet your friendly local guide in Green Park to begin a fun 3-hour tour of Westminster. You’ll see many of London’s iconic sights, including Buckingham Palace, Downing Street, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and Parliament Square. You can even see the Changing of the Guard (daily in June & July, otherwise only on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays)!
Afterwards, your guide will direct you how to get to The Shard, where a high-speed elevator will take you to floor 68. Once here, enjoy a spectacular 360-degree view stretching out across the city for up to 40 miles! If you’re feeling brave, you can even head up to the open air viewing platform on level 72!
