Next to the Shangrila Hotel there is an elevator all the way up to the top of the Shard where you can eat and drink with a view. Cocktail prices are decent but dinner or lunch is relatively expensive. Worth it just for the view. Smart Casual dress code most of the days though. 45-50 minutes from the Flat.

Whether you want to just look at it from the bottom or actually enjoy the views on the ride. It is very nice surrounding and especially nice at sunset. Worth pre-booking to get the fast lane entrance as queues can get very long.
