Well the booking system to book tickets to the viewing platform was a joke on the first day it opened and I still haven't had the email they said I'd get around payment. That being said, hopefully I've booked tickets to see the view of the clouds / rain on opening weekend next year.

Google Streetview in London has been updated recently and now features the Shard in all its glory (and inside the mostly built Olympic Park).

I believe that by fluke this picture happens to fit the theme of this thread.

Can't let the thread die.

We need to start seeing interior shots.

Surely there must be contractors with mobile phones who can give us some early pictures of the interior fix taking place?

This could be a whole new chapter, not the end !

Well done!

I'm headed down the Archway Road on Thursday. I noticed the other day while on that road, that I could photograph a whole new perspective of The Shard from that vantage point. I shall post my efforts in due course.

No need to thank me, im.
