The View from The Shard

The View from The Shard consists of a triple level indoor gallery on the 69th floor and a partially outdoor gallery on the 72nd floor.

It was opened on 1 February 2013 by the then Mayor of London, Boris Johnson.

In its first year of opening, it was visited by 900,000 people and made a profit of over £5 million.

The gallery on the 72nd floor is the highest public level of the building at a height of 800 ft (244 m).

The visitor toilets feature panoramic windows with views over the River Thames and the City of London, with optional electric blinds.
