About The Shard Tour

The Shard London’s Tallest Building

Soaring 310 metres above the London skyline, The Shard is the city’s tallest building and one of its most striking modern landmarks. Designed by architect Renzo Piano and completed in 2012, this glass skyscraper dominates the South Bank of the River Thames and has quickly become an unmissable attraction for visitors to the capital.

The highlight of any visit is the View from The Shard, a spectacular Skydeck located on floors 68 to 72. From here, guests enjoy panoramic, 360-degree views stretching up to 40 miles on a clear day with landmarks such as Tower Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, the London Eye, and even Windsor Castle visible in the distance. By night, the experience is equally breathtaking as London’s lights sparkle beneath you.

The Shard is more than just a viewing platform. It is home to world-class restaurants, bars, offices, and the luxurious Shangri-La Hotel, making it a hub of dining, leisure, and culture in the heart of the city.

As one of London’s top 30 must-see attractions, The Shard is a perfect stop on any sightseeing tour. With Big Ben Coaches, travelling there is simple and stress-free. Our executive Mercedes-Benz fleet and professional drivers provide safe, reliable transport for groups of all sizes, ensuring you arrive in comfort and on time.

The Shard Tour in Wembley

Wembley is one of London’s best-known event districts, recognised around the world for its stadium skyline and its role in hosting major national and international occasions. The area has grown from a suburban pocket of northwest London into a modern destination that combines large-scale venues, hotels, shopping, and transport links, making it a natural focal point for big gatherings, tours and school trips.

Historically, Wembley developed rapidly in the 20th century as rail connections improved and the original Wembley Stadium became a symbol of British sport and national events. The current stadium, with its striking arch, continues that legacy as the home of key football finals, international matches and ceremonial occasions, while the wider Wembley Park regeneration has turned former exhibition grounds into a mixed-use neighbourhood with new homes, public spaces and visitor facilities.

Culturally, Wembley is closely associated with live music, sport and entertainment. Wembley Stadium and nearby venues host major concerts, festivals and shows that attract fans from across the UK and abroad, and match days bring clubs, supporters and schools into the area for football and other sporting fixtures. Around the venues, visitors find shops, restaurants, bars and open spaces that support pre‑ and post‑event meetups, making Wembley a place where large groups naturally gather and move together.

For group travel, Wembley’s event-focused character means reliable transport is essential. Big Ben Coaches supports schools, clubs, corporate teams and event attendees with comfortable coach hire to and from Wembley for match days, concerts, tours and multi‑stop London itineraries. By offering planned pickup points, modern vehicles and drivers used to event traffic, Big Ben Coaches helps groups arrive together, leave efficiently after busy fixtures, and connect Wembley with hotels, airports and other parts of London in a smooth, organised way.
