In short: the Shard is for everything. It’s an office. It’s a hotel. It’s a restaurant. It’s a wedding venue. It’s a viewpoint. It’s a science experiment. It’s a really expensive way to feel tiny.
It’s also a giant middle finger to the British weather. Because if you’re 1,000 feet up, even the gray clouds look beautiful. So next time you walk past it, look up and wave. The people at the top might wave back. Or they’re just taking a selfie. Close enough.
Go visit. Bring a sandwich. Eat it 800 feet in the air. You’ll never look at a lunch break the same way again.
