UK - London - The Shard of Glass

I'm not sure what percentage of the Shard is currently occupied, I know for instance the Shangri-La Hotel isn't due to open until later this Autumn. The Observation decks opened a few months back and there's now a couple of restaurants open about half way up the skyscraper but I'm not really sure what is proposed to occupy the remainder other than a rumoured apartment for the Qatari Royal family that spreads over three floors.

 

Wikipedia to the rescue : "The Shard contains premium office space, the 5-star Shangri-La Hotel, luxury residences, three restaurants (Rainer Becker's Oblix and Aqua Restaurant Group's Hutong and Aqua Shard), a five-storey public viewing gallery and retail space. The observatory, titled "The View from the Shard", is located between the 68th and 72nd floors, with its highest section at a height of 245 metres (804 ft)."
