London's Glass Giant: How The Shard Changed The City's Skyline Forever
A Tower Born From History: The Shard stands like a massive glass pyramid piercing London's ancient skyline. This 310-meter tall building earned its name from London Bridge, the historic crossing that has connected both sides of the River Thames for nearly two thousand years. When architects designed this tower, they wanted to honor the bridge that made this location special long before skyscrapers existed.
