What to expect

Almost double the height of any other viewing platform in London, The Shard offers an unbeatable view of the capital. It’s the perfect way to see the city after exploring the iconic sights of Westminster close-up!

First, you’ll meet your guide in Green Park to begin a 3-hour tour of Westminster. Along the way, you’ll see many of London’s iconic sights, including Buckingham Palace, Downing Street, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, The London Eye and Parliament Square. You can even see the Changing of the Guard (daily June and July, otherwise Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays - choose the 10am tour start time).

Then, your guide will direct you on how to get to The Shard, where a high-speed elevator will take you to floor 68. Once here, enjoy a spectacular 360-degree view stretching out across the city for up to 40 miles! If you’re feeling brave, you can even head up to the open-air viewing platform on level 72!

You can choose between the following options available in the order box: Shared Tour and Private Tour. Please note that the private tour option requires a minimum of 2 adults per booking.

Important to know

The tour is 5 hours in duration (3 hours at Westminster Walking Tour and 2 hours at The Shard. We will not accompany you into The Shard Viewing Gallery)
