The View From The Shard

The Shard

Standing beneath the tallest building in London about to ascend way up high.

Southwark Cathedral

Southwark Cathedral nestles in amongst the buildings by Borough Market. It looks bigger at ground level.

Where's Wally?

Lots of the characters from Where's Wally were painted on buildings around London - from Cannon Street Station across the river to this one on the building below The Shard.

City Sunset

Vertical shot over Southwark as the sun sets - sadly not a hugelyi mpressive sunset tonight, but the blue hour would soon loom.

Zooming In

Buckingham Palace can be clearly seen behind The London Eye in this shot, lots of details as we look west into the setting sun.

Starting to Illuminate

The first of three sets of kept images of this incredible cityscape over the South Bank and Westminster areas of London.

St Pauls

The Cathedral stands tall amongst the more modern architecture near the Thames. The Millennium Bridge needs some lights fixing while a boat zooms beneath.

The Square Mile

The big new skyscrapers dominate the foreground as we look north over the Thames. Traffic is heavy on London Bridge, even late into the evening. It's a view that is hard to turn away from, but this kind of view is all around from The Shard.

Tower Bridge

More London Place and a chance to view the distinctive "Bat Building" from above, with Tower Bridge illuminated and reflecting brightly across The Thames.

Docklands

The curves of the Thames head east past Docklands and the cranes out at Tilbury Docks can even be seen.

Look Up

The top pointy bit of The Shard, open to the elements we are on the 72nd floor.
