The Telegraph gets a sneak preview of what visitors will experience within the EU's tallest building, The Shard, when it opens to the public in 2013.
Although the Shard's viewing platform won't open to the public until February 1, 2013, developers behind the building have released details of the experience visitors can anticipate when they ascend to the peak of the tallest building in the EU.
Called The View from the Shard, the publicly accessible viewing spaces stretch from level 68 of the skyscraper to level 72. With the upper levels reaching 244m high, it is the highest vantage point provided by any building in Western Europe and is almost twice as high as any other viewing point in London.
Tickets (now available via the View from the Shard website) cost £24.95 if booked online in advance, or £29.95 if bought on the day, subject to availability. (Children will pay £18.95 in advance or £22.95 on the day.)
