Tip 12: A View From The Top

At 308 meters and 72 floors high, The Shard gives an unrivaled view of London. Because of this, it may be tempting to visit the viewing platform. But here is a hack - save the £25 and visit the atrium bar on the 31st floor for free! You don't need to book, and you can nurse a £4.50 glass of wine for as long as you like and take in the view. It's open til 1am, and the dress code is a smart causal. For more info check out their website http://www.aquashard.co.uk/.
