Description
The Shard will be the tallest building in Western Europe, its crystalline façade transforming the London skyline with a mixed-use 310 m (1,016 ft) vertical city of high-quality offices, world-renowned restaurants, the 5-star Shangri-La hotel, exclusive residential apartments and the capital's highest viewing gallery offering 360° views.
Well-connected and comprehensively serviced by central London's transport infrastructure, facilities and amenities, the Shard is a timeless reminder of the power of imagination to inspire change.
OFFICE SPACE
In scale, scope and location, the office space laid out over 25 floors of the Shard will be unmatched in Europe - light, open Grade A space in a range of highly-serviced and specified floorplates all containing naturally-ventilated winter gardens.
This premium office space occupies floors 4 to 28 of the most high-profile building in Europe - an innovative landmark building at London's newest commercial quarter, rising to a record-breaking 1,016 ft (310 m) next to one of London's most significant transport interchanges.
