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. But there was no way we could see to take photos except through the glass windows. Building of the Shard was completed in November 2012. It has 87 storeys and srands 306 metres (1,004 ft) high. 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
