The entrance fee to visit the View from The Shard, London’s tallest viewing platform, has recently been reduced. Standard entry tickets now range from £22 to £32, depending on the date and time of your visit[1][2]. Deluxe entry options—which include extras such as a glass of champagne—are available between £36 and £48[1][2]. A special summer saver ticket for £17 is sometimes offered on Mondays and Tuesdays[1]. The lowest regularly available tickets found in recent searches were £26[1].
Tickets must be booked online in advance for a selected date and timed slot, as there is no physical box office at the Shard[3]. Access for children aged three and under is free of charge[3][4][5].
There are currently no reduced rates for students or seniors; all paying visitors apart from very young children are subject to the same pricing[3].
Tip: Midweek and early or late time slots often offer the lowest prices, and peak weekend hours tend to be more expensive[3]. Deluxe ticket packages may include additional amenities, such as a commemorative photograph or drinks[2].
