The View From The Shard in Southwark was, for me, well worth the £32 access fee.

Amazing views and great experience for a little of something different. We were 2 couples on a dine and view package.

Highly recommend a visit.

Went to The Shard late afternoon, no queue at all and paid around £60 for two. Quick bag check and metal detector, then two smooth, fast lifts to the top.

For clearer views, visit in spring or autumn. In winter, wrap up warm to handle wind on the Skydeck. Summer mornings are cooler and quieter.
