The Shard, also referred to as The Shard of Glass, has been described as a ‘vertical town’ and is set to dominate the London skyline for years to come.

The tallest building in Western Europe at 309 metres, The Shard features offices, luxury apartments, restaurants, a visitor attraction and a five star hotel on its 72 habitable floors.
