Illustrative image: 28 March 2014. We found there were two viewing decks at the top of the Shard. The upper storey was partly open to fresh air above our heads and a lot cooler.

The viewing decks were opened to the public in February 2013. _____________________________ Opinions about The Shard As the building rose higher and — Alan Stanton/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 2.0
