London at its finest

16 February 2012 | Tim Hallac

As we have been under the shadow of the Shard as it has been built over recent years, it is great to see what it looks like from the very top. This picture has been taken by Will Pearson and his website gives you an amazing panoramic view of what the view is like from the top of the Shard. Displaying London at its finest, the site allows you to zoom in and have a close look at the buildings that surround us.

The Shard will be the tallest building in Western Europe and has transformed the London skyline with a 310m (just over 1,016ft) vertical city of offices, world-renowed restaurants, the 5 star Shangri-La hotel, exclusive residential apartments and the capital’s highest viewing gallery offering 360º views. It is fair to say that the Shard is a reminder of the power of imagination to inspire change and Pearson’s photography really does illustrate the hidden beauty of London from above.
