The Shard - Expensive and Dangerous

[Vegas Seagull]

Cheers for that. A combination of the price and my fear of heights means I'll probably never get to see it for myself so this is a great substitute.

As an aside - is it just me who thinks that it doesn't 'look' all that high when you see it from the near distance. It also looks unfinished. Maybe that's just me too.

How near? If you stand under it & lean back to see the top you will find yourself lying on the ground....incredible

I suspect that's nothing to do with it being in Portslade but more to do with you being a bit of a cock

The lifts travel at 6m/s. They aren't that fast and unlikely to cause a perforated eardrum. Unless he was holding his breath all the way up?

i did have a top hat on?

 

[FloatLeft]

Total rip off, though i imagine the views would be good on a clear day.

Havent you got to book in advance too ? So you could book and then on the day, its low cloud of incredibly foggy, so you see nothing - that would be a MASSIVE waste.

If you just roll up and pay on the day it's £100

I thought it unlikely but the pain began literally 20 minutes after we left. It's a mystery.

Did you have a shit up there?

No, the 'Poo from the Shard' was an extra £20.

Is anyone else getting Shard banner ads at the top of this page? I am!

 

[Stat Brother]

Yes, but you do have to factor in the cost of the vaccinations required to visit Portsmouth.

Just hold your breath, it's worked ok for The Stat's, so far.

A mystery? In this thread you've (libellously) blamed The Shard.

 

[Uncle C]

I always think it looks like its not quite finished at the top.

They ran out of money.

Incorrect! £29.95 is the price for taking a chance on the day.

Yes, but you do have to factor in the cost of the vaccinations required to visit Portsmouth.

and the purchase of the stab proof vest in case you get caught by the mooshes!

 

[the right footed denilson]

it's a bit of an eyesore isn't it?

 

[PHCgull]

Comparable with here, which is normally more expensive on everything.

The observation deck at Burj Khalifa (world's tallest building) is just under £60 for two adults and a 10-year old if you book ahead.

But it's £200 if you just turn up and want to go there and then!!!

I did this with my son... f***ing shocking!

Its not even the worlds highest observation deck, theres another 300m of burj above it and the one in malaysia is higher... #stitchup

I think the shard is a stunning addition to the london skyline - wouldnt pay to go up it - shit scared of heights.

 

[Fef]

No, the 'Poo from the Shard' was an extra £20.

That'd scare the crap out of me!

 

[Brixtaan]

Bit of a bland addition to the London skyline IMHO. OK it's quite high, but utterly lacking in what TV property spivs would call 'The Wow Factor'. Must have taken an architect about ten minutes on his fag break to design no?

Your joking!? Its a fantastic addition to the London skyline and definitely has the wow factor. I like the fact its in a new stand-alone position south of the river spreading the high rises out across London.
