This past weekend I chose to check out The Shard, just across from the City of London. This modern high rise offers spectacular panoramic views of London anywhere from 30-50 stories up for free at it's up-market bars and restaurants, and for a price, you can go up to the Viewing Gallery which offers the highest viewing point in London, up to 70 stories high. I decided to go to one of the bars so I wouldn't spend too much paying for the viewing gallery, which in hindsight made no difference since I spent the equivalent amount on drinks... But I digress. It was still a worthwhile experience to see the city from high above and to watch the sunset on another day as our trip starts to come to an end. The sunset was absolutely beautiful, the skyline lit up at night was awe-inspiring, and seeing Tower Bridge in it's bright glory from high up was really cool. This is a must-visit all visitors to London should add to their list of things to do as much as all the classic London landmarks are.
