The Shard, sometimes referred to as The Shard of Glass, is a 95-storey skyscraper in Southward, London. The Shard is the tallest building in the UK and European Union, standing 309.6 metres high (1,016 feet in old money!). It is also the second tallest 'free-standing' structure in the United Kingdom, beaten only by the concrete tower of Emlet Moor transmitting station.
Since its opening in July 2012 The Shard has hosted a number of events involving an eclectic mix of comedy, music, art and entertainment with a broad selection of impressive exhibitions. Rooms with spectacular views across London can be hired for events and private functions with capacities of up to 400 guests per room. With vehicles in and around London every single day of the year, Furniture Hire UK can deliver furniture, chairs and tables directly into any function room within The Shard at very short notice.
The Shard itself is home to some of the best offices, restaurants and hotel rooms in London - along with breathtaking views. Tickets can be purchased to experience 'the view from The Shard' giving visitors breath-taking sights up to 40 miles (25km) across London.
At more than 300 metres (1,000ft) tall, The Shard in London Bridge is nearly twice as high as any other building in the city. Guests can travel in some of the fastest lifts in London and check out views from the indoor viewing platforms on levels 68 and 69 before taking in some spectacular, unobstructed, 360-degree views from level 72 which is open-air! Fast-track entry tickets can be reserved to skip the queues and overlook London’s historical architecture from one of the city’s most iconic modern buildings.
