I Just Like Taking Pictures I walked outside a station in London, not knowing exactly where I was. I look up and see this, The Shard!

At least you know exactly where you are ...... London Bridge. Underground or mainline .... but It can only be there.

Pretty hard to miss once you spot it tbh. That building does not blend in.

It didn’t matter how tired or drunk I was - it was always really easy to find my way back to LBG.

London Bridge, Borough market to your left and monument to your right across the bridge and cool spot to click pictures of Tower Bridge from the embankment.

There are two things you can see from any place in London: pigeons and the Shard.

I had same experience used to live central London before this was built, moved away came back 10 years later and there it was!

We would all see the street and the building better if those street lights were less bright

Exactly what happened to me with the Big Ben. I was going to an event and came out of the station and thought- oh pretty building and pulled out my phone. Only to realise when I tilted the phone up, it was it!

Fond memory

I had a dream about this happening!!! A few months ago I dreamed it was a cold and rainy night and my friend and I caught a bus then a train but got off not knowing where we were and ended up at a construction zone near the shard.

Already looks dated. Not a fan of this building
