Overview

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!

The Shard was shut on the day of my viewing and had been shut for weeks . La Vacanza Travel had taken my money whilst knowing that the Shard was closed. The Westminster walking tour was very good by Sandra. John Dawson

Overall it was a great tour because the tour guides took us to different palaces and give us a brief history about it, and he also give us a nice walk at the beautiful park. but it would be flexible if we can go to the shard together since that’s is the only place we haven’t gone together, just myself and 1 of the other person who was also part of this tour.

Absolutely loved this tour. Christopher is a truly excellent tour guide. It amazes me how he remembers everything that he told us however, it was not a simple case of providing us with information Christopher has a brilliant personality mingle that with his humour and you have yourself a brilliant tour where you learn a lot, see a lot and have an absolutely fantastic time. The 3 hours flew by I am not a great walker however the pace is great nice and east with plenty of stops for Christopher to give us facts etc.The Shard was good too 😊

Amazing view and lovely staff however, as London sky gardens is free £30 looks a touch steep for the experience.
