The View from The Shard has officially opened London’s highest summer garden space, 800ft (244m) above the city.
The sky deck at the top of Western Europe’s tallest building has been transformed with over 2,000 plants and flowers to celebrate the Great British Summertime.
Taking months to prepare and over 350 man-hours to fully install, national floral favourites including poppies, fox gloves, lavender, marigolds and birch trees have been planted in more than 10,000 litres of soil, set amongst a further 750 metres of decorative foliage.
Guests can book a Sky-High Tea picnic from Fortnum & Mason with their visit from 23 June, or enjoy a gin-and-tonic flavoured ice-cream whilst taking in the panoramic views for up to 40 miles.
