Up the Shard on a Rainy day

IMAG0566
So, today was the day, what a shame the weather wasn't too good...(oh well - I guess the cool thing is that hardly anyone would normally do this sort of thing in bad weather, so my pics might actually be somewhat unusual)... ;)

...so I got to London Bridge quite early (had to cab it to Redhill and get on a super early Luton train in order to make it on time) -

- found the Shard Arcade (which I has spied on previously during construction) now open, but it's still a bit shy in the way of actual shops - anyway - at the appointed time, I walked to the main entrance of the Shard itself - was directed to a lift -

- honestly, it felt a bit like playing a tutorial level on a run and gun game ("This way, Sir", "Yes, just up there") there must have been ten people employed to this end (which was the 22nd floor) -

- we had a couple of hours of (very informative) presentations after taking a couple of snaps from this (comparatively low level) -

...and then...it was back down to the ground floor to take a trip up to the top of the world (London-style)...
