It also has a dedicated retail quarter and boasts London’s highest viewing platform, with 360-degree views of the city. A design and engineering marvel, The Shard has reshaped London’s skyline and redefined the potential of urban development.
The Shard building overview
In this video, we trace the history of The Shard back to its conception in the late 1990s, with a brief profile of its architect and a step-by-step commentary of the design and construction process. We look at the materials used and the building’s structural details. And we highlight five key statistics that bring home the scope and magnitude of the project. Did you know, for example, that the volume of glass used would cover eight football pitches?
We take a close look at the local amenities and surrounding neighbourhood, showcasing popular food and coffee hotspots in London Bridge and Southwark. We also show you some of The Shard’s completed spaces and office areas, with notable occupants including Kraft Heinz, Aljazeera Media Network and Jellyfish. The idea behind this video is to provide insight for businesses who might be looking to take office space in this iconic building. By telling The Shard’s story and providing unique facts about its journey, we hope to inspire future visitors, tenants and residents.
