The View from The Shard is the visitor attraction at the top of The Shard, the tallest building in European Union and London's newest landmark. Gives Views over 40 miles around London, but not as good as Google Satellite.
From 'The Shard' web Site:
"The Shard was conceived as a building with multiple uses: a vertical city where people could live, work and relax. It comprises world-class offices, award-wining restaurants, the 5-star Shangri-La Hotel, exclusive residences and the UK’s highest viewing gallery, The View from The Shard, offering 360-degree views. Well-connected and comprehensively serviced by central London's transport infrastructure, facilities and amenities, The Shard is a timeless reminder of the power of imagination to inspire change."
