London is a truly fascinating city with so much history, culture, entertainment and not forgetting great food. I sometimes forget that there are so many great things to do in London that don’t cost extortionate amounts either. London Bridge in particular has so much going on that it can be difficult to choose what to do and when, if you are not a local like me then here are convenient and easy to access Hotels near the shard for you to stay in.

Here is a rough itinerary for spending the day in London Bridge.

Start your day looking at the breathtaking views from The Shard – £25

Open at 10 am-10 pm

With the U.K’s tallest building and the iconic shape comes from it’s namesake, you can catch a glimpse of it from almost anywhere in London but for the 360 panoramic views you can head up to the very top and take in the entire city which you can see stretches for miles. Tip: grab yourself breakfast at the Aqua shard for around £10 and still gain entry to the unique skyline views.
