UK - London - View from the Shard at night 01 panorama
I finally got to go up the Shard at the weekend, it might be expensive at £25 for a ride in a lift but the view was spectacular. I'd recommend that you go up before sunset and stay until it gets dark, it's the best way to get your moneys worth.....
I should warn you it's not an easy place to take photos, the reflections from the double (triple ?) glazed panels can make things a bit hit and miss. It helps to wear dark clothing and have a big lens hood... More shots to come once I've got round to processing them.
