The Shard a 72-storey, 309.6 m skyscraper opened on 1 February 2013. It is the tallest building in the UK, the record previously occupied by One Canada Square in Canary Wharf. It was designed by Renzo Piano and is mostly owned by the State of Qatar. There is a popular observation deck, The View from The Shard, on 244 m (where also the highest habitable floor is). A Pokemon - #884 Duraludon - is actually based on The Shard (very much including its Gigantamax form). (previous | next | back to album | 2020:02:10 17:04:05 | 36% of an album)
