This credit-card sized piece of promotional material was being handed out at the World Travel Mart at the Excel building this week where a large stall was attempting to attract trade industry clients to take a trip up the Shard. This privilege comes at a price of £24.95 per adult, which as many commentators have pointed out, is steep.
Also on show was the TELL:SCOPE through which visitors can scan the buildings beneath them via a live-time screen which captions the buildings they target. The one demonstrated only looked to the north, across to the City, and failed to caption many sites, including all the City churches. But these are probably irrelevant to the high flyers of Mammon.
For a sample, go to The View From the Shard.
