The Shard, London: Outside and in
The latest
addition to London’s skyline is The Shard, the tallest building in Europe at 1,016 feet. Designed by Italian architect Renzo
Piano, it seems to have received a positive reaction from Londoners. The viewing gallery and observation
platform at the top are now open to the public, and I made a trip on one of the
very few fine days in recent weeks.
