GOING UP THE 1,000ft SHARD IN LONDON!!

[@rob70393]

Hi Hannah I'm disabled I live in Clacton on sea, you showing everyone around London its amazing. I look at you as being my eyes, I can't wait for your next post it makes my day, please keep up the good work and don't stop what you do it makes me and lots like me very happy.

[@moe_1886]

Such amazing views from up there... uninterrupted as well! I think £28 (with discount code), is good value as you're not time restricted like Battersea, and you can stay up there and just enjoy the experience and/or watch the weather come through even. The bar is a bonus, although the prices are definitely up there. Thanks so much Hannah, and appreciate you having to pay out of your own pocket as well, so hope this little bit helps ☺

[@HannahRicketts]

Thanks so much, glad you liked it!!

[@60margie]

Never in a million years would I go up that high but I loved doing it through your eyes. Thank you Hannah really appreciate your hard work xx

[@carloschbn]

This tour is realy wonderful, and having you to show us everything and also commenting, it gets even better! The Shard building is really amazing. I can image how beautiful it must be to see all those New Year's fireworks from the inside of it. Wow, how courageous you are Hannah! You really became into a heights' person, first was the 109 lift of Battersea Station, and after the glass floor inside the Tower Bridge and now the Shard. I am loving a lot all your tours around the city. All your video takes are amazing! Thanks again!

[@HannahRicketts]

Thanks so much, very kind!

[@mktgp1454]

I am from Italy, I saw that building under construction in 2011 with a huge construction site. Then I returned to London in 2013 and saw The Shard completed, so I decided to visit it and hike up to that same scenic area. In 2013 it was considered the tallest building in Europe and the view from up there was spectacular. Fond memories of London, perhaps the most vibrant and extraordinary city in Europe.

[@LCLand]

Wow that’s quite a statement! When I visited Europe in 1997 London was my least favorite city of 13 countries. But I see I was wrong and I should visit again it is pretty dazzling!

[@edwinnalagan9540]

The last time I was in London, I went on the London Eye. Mind you I am deathly afraid of heights and water, which made that experience torture, going up the Shard would make me go mental. Thank you for the delightful vlog.

[@HannahRicketts]

Thank you so much!

[@francescacrivello1600]

Cara Hanna, veramente coraggiosa, e sicuramente non soffri di vertigini. Meraviglie delle meraviglie. Filmato strepitoso. Sei grande. Un saluto immenso. Grazie. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

[@blt565]

London tourism needs to give you a sponsorship! The views are spectacular.

[@dawnrebekah6522]

Absolutely loving this series. Thank you so much for sharing London with us.

[@fionafrazer8820]

That made me feel very wobbly! Can't believe you went up so high, and then outside - so brave!The views were incredible - thanks, as always, for doing this for us. I think the mistiness made it look fabulous!

[@ButacuPpucatuB]

This is worth every pound! To be able to see the skyline in all directions, have a drink, and not be rushed out by a guide or group… to me that’s an excellent deal. The Ritz is superb, expensive, but superb. I hope you can manage to film it all. I love your tours. Thank you for doing this 🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@marycollier1293]

I went up the Shard when it first opened. Evening is the best for all the city lights. Thanks for bringing back memories.

[@gordonalain]

Stayed at the Shangri-La a couple of times and the views are amazing and fabulous. Especially at night or in the evenings. You can enjoy this view while having a wonderful dinner or fantastic afternoon tea. Love it! And you get the same view as an added bonus.

[@ElizabethH1231]

I was so excited to see this - it's stunning, isn't it? My son and I were just there right after New Year's and it was decorated for Christmas. Absolutely gorgeous - much better than I expected!

[@damiagunbiade]

I love this. You should a tour of all the tallest buildings in London. Brilliant video once again.

[@marieneu264]

It’s really cool to see this view of London. I feel like my American perspective is just old, and beautiful, buildings and castles when we see anything about London.

[@rebeccarendle3706]

My youngest fell in love with the Shard in when he was 7yrs old..our last London visit before covid. But we didn't have time to go up the chard. This year when we come home we plan to visit in and go up. So thanks for sharing 🤗.

[@daphnebarfield1341]

Wow, I can feel the height from all the way here in Georgia! It scared me sitting at my desk watching it on a computer screen! Not sure I could do that in person, so thanks for taking us along with you. Spectacular views, and I loved the displays inside the building - very well done. Always look forward to your Friday vlogs. Looking forward to biking through London with you and your GoPro. Thanks, Hannah!

[@debbiekolthof6496]

The views from the Shard are incredible! Your tours and commentary are spot on, lovely to watch!❤

[@richieirvine449]

The last time I was in London I went up The Shard and this video brought back great memories of that day. Such a great time. X

[@garygarrison4336]

Hannah beautiful bird eyes view of London 🇬🇧 thanks 👍👍😀

[@sarapanzarella97]

That is the BEST time to visit the Shard - Sunday morning! Not only is there NO line, it is also the best time to take a taxi in that part of London - hardly any traffic. It is included if you buy a London Pass for your visit.

[@barrycoppock]

Yes, I found the upper, open to the elements, better for viewing as generally fewer people there, and makes photography easier. Booking in advance makes the cost justifiable. As I mentioned in your Tower Bridge vlog, for the photographer who wishes to capture different times of the day and year, the annual pass is a bargain. Visit any number of times without having to book. Three visits and you are in 'profit'. My seven visits in the twelve month period came out cheap per visit.

[@sammyk.3567]

Excellent. Best eye view of London I have ever seen. Really enjoyed. Worth the second look. Perhaps a third.

[@svatisingh1]

I'm about to return back to London after having been away for three years due to lockdowns (and had to rebuild my business, save money) etc. And I just know that when I'm back, I'll continue to watch your videos as they are such a fun part of my life now. Thank you so much for this incredible service of keeping people connected with this wonderful city, hope to bump into you while I'm out and about! 💕🙏

[@caspermilquetoast411]

You're our Venus, you're our fire at our desire! It's Friday, and that means HANNAH TIME! Thank you for all the beige bits and the Cadbury selections that we in America can only dream of! Speaking of hellycopters, I suggest you take us on a grand circle tour of London? We'll wait .........

[@michaelclark6275]

Hi Hannah, what another super vlog, as my wife Diane and i go to London every year we thought about the shard last year but will definitely go this year. We love London and watching your vlogs makes us so miss it, keep them coming, Bye 👋.

[@bevvyloo7952]

We had a couple of cocktails up there & stayed for ages, loved every minute! 💕 We’ve also had drinks in the Hutong bar there which is free to enter & the views are also great 😍

[@annettewalter2273]

I do like the shard, it is is different but there is something about it! Thank you for spending the money and doing this tour for us.

[@topchelseagirl9074]

I love being up high, I'm always the one leaning out over the edge of tall buildings lol. When you go to The Ritz, you may already know - but make sure you visit the ladies powder room and take you phone/camera with you!

[@madswansfan1]

Love the views from there. That’s definitely my sort of thing when I visit a new city. It’s great to get a different perspective. Thanks 😊

[@janeorson5452]

Thank you so much for this video! We did go there, some years ago now, and just had coffee in the Oblix (well worth it!) I honestly don't think I'd have the nerve to go up that far. I also hate lifts, and remember how fast it was. Two weeks later, the Queen visited, and i said to my husband, "I bet she wasn't sick in the lift!" The Sky Garden is fabulous, it's amazing that it's free, so I'm looking forward to that video. I've managed to book tea at the Ritz in March, which I'm very excited about, as I've never been, so can't wait to see that video, too. Keep them coming Hannah, they're lovely to watch!

[@emidyl24]

thanks Hannah very cool, love the surrounding London landmarks, waay more interesting than from our CN Tower. We recently (LOL 2019) did the "walkie talkie" sky garden and loved it. cheers

[@teresa8610]

Hannah, so brave of you to take us up there with you! I was holding my breathe while you were looking out and down below. Oh my! 😲

[@lisasbialka2797]

Thanks for another great vlog, Hannah! This was a great way to see how beautiful the city looks from above! 🇬🇧

[@auntiej1961]

Holy Moly my knees are weak just watching - Great job Hannah ..I also have a fear of heights. Love this tour around your London town you are taking us all on! Happy Weekend - Thanks again xo

[@jng66]

“…that blobby thing…” 😂😂😂 I love your descriptions of places!! Another fabulous tour of London, thank you Hannah.

[@quickclipsbyjmj]

Pricey but goodness me, soooooo much better than Lift 109. Thanks for taking us along with you, Hannah.

[@valeriekelly315]

Ooh er missis ! No wonder they were dropping their drinks Hannah - I'd have got the colly - wobbles big time being up that high x

[@Positively_Houston]

Hi Hannah, we love your tours of London! Also, we just saw the tiniest vlogging cameras they have out now and they're absolutely tiny if you'd like that better when you're in restaurants and stuff. We saw them on Amazon among other places.

[@Kari_B61ex]

Fantastic views of gorgeous London Hannah. Thank you for the view!

[@rickmiller6520]

Brilliant vlog Hannah. Incredible sights! Thanks so much!

[@marty9011]

Thanks for going up there for us. I could never do it not liking heights. Super view.

[@davidnoble9268]

Holy crap that’s an incredible view! I went to the Sky Garden when I was there in August and really enjoyed that, but wow, the view from the Shard is truly incredible! Well done you for conquering your fear of heights to bring us this vlog! Going the extra mile for your followers! Definitely going on my list for when I come back one day. Awesome job, as always, and I’m gonna let that Banarama comment slide haha, for an old fan of theirs, that would have been pretty cool lol (don’t laugh at me) Anyways, as always, thanks for your fab efforts! We appreciate you! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Lovely video Hannah! Always a pleasure to see you. You were gorgeous. I would love to watch a tour on canary wharf...Keep at it! Greetings from Argentina...

[@elenaaleshkevich5267]

С такой невероятной высоты видно, какой большой и красивый Лондон. Спасибо, Hanna!❤😊

[@jahnome]

Oblix is a nice spot to have dinner (or some drinks) in the Shard and get an amazing view of London!

[@79designuk]

Hi Hannah. I messaged you before about the Shard. When we went, it was £25. And the photo to get after, on your way down, is another £25, if you wanted it. That... is stupid expensive. I would say it is far better value that the London Eye, as you can stay up there for ages. Take food up, relax. That bar wasn't there when we went so that's a great addition. I still think £28-£32 is a lot... for a view. Not sure what it would be for a family of four, but I suspect it would get close to £100. Plus cost of a train ticket. One pricey day! But... I agree, it is quite the view. I recall our view was almost a clear day. Def remember seeing Wembley, and a police chopper 'stop' outside the building, open the doors and wave to us. That was special. The Monument - I did that myself some years ago. Worth it. Not expensive. Quite a tight it as you go up. Not for those who dislike confined spaces. But you get a nice view up there. I think in Spring I will be down there... and going to the Sky Garden, so def looking forward to your little tour. Hannah... for me that will almost be like watching you give me a personal tour! haha. As I really wana go there. Oh... and in Spring... look up the Pheonix Gardens. I think Emilia Clarke is familiar with it..... Best wishes from sunny Lincolnshire.

[@soozempen814]

Thank you, thank you! SO that settles it for me, I'm definitely going to hit up the Shard on my next trip (weather permitting of course). I love that you can spend as much time as you like, which makes sense for that rather steep entrance fee. Didn't Battersea only pop you up top for a view of a few minutes? Knowing you can get your time's worth is smart, and I do love a cheeky bar to nab a drink and enjoy the views. (And now I wonder if there should be a drinking game of every time someone drops their glass? LOL!). Thanks again and looking forward to Sky Garden next. ❤

[@stephensaidu6630]

I went to the open air section a few years back and it was very windy and rainy with some rain entering in. I felt extremely scared walking around it during those conditions but the closed off section was fine 😅

[@normalincoln8502]

OMG that was amazing. The view is fantastic. Oh. MY. Hi Hannah . Thanks for sharing. Xx

[@douglasgray6637]

Hi Hannah, I'm delighted you went up The Shard , the views are amazing but that bar was not always there. When they first opened The Shard there was no bar and only 1 restaurant, Oblix , I took my father to Oblix for an evening meal there on our first visit in 2013 now there are 6 restaurants there . Now after watching your excellent vlog I might have to go back up to The Shard again 👍

[@maxoggle11]

It's nice to have a look, thanks for sharing. I've been up the Empire State and CN Tower were i was the last in the lift , everyone looking out me looking in. I'm not that keen on tall buildings myself but it's a touristy thing you feel compeled to do as you're there.

[@groundhoglife]

Amazing views and you’re very brave. Me and my wife are both terrified of heights and I think if we went up here we’d be crawling on hands and knees 😂. I’ve also read that it sways slightly when it’s windy 🙈. Thanks for the brilliant tours, we both love watching you.

[@nelliemelba4967]

Ha,ha, I'd be doing the same! And probably whimpering too!

[@o.b.6103]

If you ever get the whim or the chance please feature Tea at Rubens at the Palace. That place intrigues me. It is glorious.

[@hildabrunski7400]

Amazing views from the Shard! I think it's definitely worth the cost as you see all the most famous landmarks. Well done! Looking forward to your next vlog!

[@Pure_B]

£32 WOW 😱 I went up the floor where the restaurants are for free and got a great view. The London skyline has certainly changed in the last few years with all these new skyscrapers. It's beginning to resemble NYC or Dubai.

[@adamr9570]

No it does not, sorry but you haven’t seen enough it seems. London is so natural, and a lot of actual history and canals unlike New York?..

[@MaliceandEnvy]

New York is doesn’t look anything like London.

Like other viewers, I think you are super brave to venture up there! My stomach is doing somersaults just watching it. It’s a fantastic view and a great tour, but I couldn’t go up there myself, I don’t think. Thank for this video, otherwise I would never experience this for real!😊

Thank You Thank You for showing us those wonderful views of my favorite city in the whole world !! All my trips there I hesitated to go to the Shard due to the cost but now my next trip I will make the effort to go for sure !!! I also love the view of where I stayed, near the Millennium bridge and to see the construction progress where I watched while staying at the apartment/hotel called - One Millennium Bridge, that will be completed with offices, shops and restaurants. Great video Hannah as usual and can't wait for the next one !!

I booked from the shards website and got a complimentary glass off fizz. Cracking views and even better at when the sun is setting.

[@martinj7793]

Another nice place to visit is 120 Fenchurch Street roof garden. It offers free entry and you can just turn up and visit. It offers great views of The Walkie Talkie and The Shard + it has a really chilled relaxed atmosphere. I prefer it and have been... many times now. Enjoy

[@dalefriesen8676]

Is The Shard the most superb view over London? Enough to make you drop your drink? lol😂 This is a serious butterfly inducing height! I could spend hours up there! As you say, Hannah, London appears cinematic with mist in the air. A beautiful vlog, Hannah! What a great city! See you next time.🙂

[@nelliemelba4967]

I would absolutely love to go up there and take photos or just take in the views, and all the places I know and recognise, but I'm way too fearful of heights! Thank you for going up there, Hannah, it looks stunning. At least I can see what I'm missing. Perhaps one day...
