I had the opportunity to go to the Shard, the highest viewing platform at the top of Western Europe’s tallest building.
We went up with a speedy elevator to level 33 , changed elevators to level 69.
There is the first viewing platform. Then you can go 3 flights up to level 72 which is the highest level for visitors.
The sight is breathtaking and you see all London Landmarks and more.
Definitely not for people who don’t like heights.

Well worth a visit if you are in London.
It was not sunny but we still could see enough.
As Groucho Marx says:
I love my London in all weather!
Foot note….
I just noticed as I published it, it is my 400th post!
Can’t believe I did that many…..I’m rather proud! ♥
Guten Morgen Ute. Schöne Fotos. Freundliche Grüße, Wolfgang
Vielen Dank Wolfgang
Oh ja, da wäre ich auch gerne mit hoch gefahren. Herrlich, der Blick von dort oben.
Ja und man sieht wirklich alles.. allround!
tolle Fotos, liebe Ute, schönen Donnerstag wünsche ich
Vilen Dank, Klaus gleichfalls!

Great views from up there! Congrats on 400 posts. 🙂 xx
Yes thanks how it all adds up. Thank you Sylvia
I started to feel sea sick looking down from those heights. lol, glad you had a wonderful time.
Well it is not for everyone! I don’t have a problem with heights and love it!
Thank you for sharing your fun photos, Ute! I’m glad you had a good time.
I so did, and it was even better to do it with a lovely friend!
Wonderful view, beautiful you….congratulations on 400 posts! ❤
Thank you my darling!
Fantastic Ute! You are a very brave woman to attempt and succeed at attaining the heights of beauty. Inspirational! 🙂
Thank you Cathy, it is well worth it!
Wow ! 400 posts ! Here’s to another 400 *clink* 😀 ❤
Oh yes… here we go!
Loving what you have, the secret of happiness!
Indeed, Georgia! Thanks
I hope to visit your exciting city someday Ute! Great photos to inspire me! I drove through London twice, once on the way to Scotland and another time back to Germany: took the bus from Edinburgh to London and a train to the airport. Caught a glimpse of London, a fabulous city!
Have a great weekend!
❤ carmen
It is indeed, would be great to welcome you here!
Congrats, Ute 🙂 It’s expensive so I’ll wait for a sunny day 🙂
It is yes but well worth it! (Once)
Glückwunsch, schönen Sonntag wünsche ich dir
Wow! Thanks for the beautiful views, Ute.
Thank you Ann!
Amazing view, amazing 400 posts! The quote from Groucho made me laugh.
Yes it is good, indeed, and today he would love London again in the typical Summer weather… it is pouring down….. 🙂
😀
400 and going strong. Awesome views. I would love to go up there and see it.
It is worth it but quite expensive I find! Still the view is super!
Yeah, I saw that it is expensive just after it opened. What I like though is that if the weather is cloudy, they will give you a voucher for a return visit
Oh I didn’t know, that is nice!
It is.I really like that they do that
