The Shard and apartment buildings London
The Shard and apartment buildings London
A view of The Shard building from the Millbank area, contrasting with older apartment buildings in the foreground. The Shard is located next to London Bridge Station in Southwark, has 72-storeys and is 309.6m / 1,016ft high. It is still the tallest building in the United Kingdom, when it was completed in 2012 it was briefly the tallest building in Europe (it now ranks as 7th tallest). Apart from The Shard, the other thing that caught my eye in this shot was the couple sitting out on their balcony about half way up the building on the right, oblivious to the views and all the scaffolding surrounding them!
