If you get up early next Monday morning, you’ll could be able to get an annual pass for unlimited visits to The Shard for a whole year.

And aptly, there are 2,017 passes available and they’ll cost just £20.17.

This is the second year they’ve offered the annual pass, and unsurprisingly last year it cost £20.16. Adjusting for inflation, this year’s pass should cost £20.48, so the cost of the annual pass has actually fallen in real terms.

The tickets will be released from 7am on Monday 16th January, and based on last year, expect a long queue outside the View from the Shard entrance from the early hours.

Terms:

Only one card can be purchased per person and cards cannot be purchased on behalf of someone else. Valid Photo ID must be presented upon purchase of the card and photo identification will be documented and stored on our system to validate the cardholder upon future entry.

Visits to The View from The Shard are subject to availability and cannot be pre-booked.

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE

This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.

It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.

Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.

If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.

Thank you

    Also, as far as I can see on the Shard site, this year you don’t need to be a London resident to qualify.

    ‘Just’ £20.17? London is such as expensive city to visit.

    If you can’t be there on the 16th, it may still be worth asking afterwards. I missed the original ‘limited’ offer last year, but then found I could still buy a 2016 card (at £20.16) at the end of March.

    If they open at 7am – how big is the queue expected to be? How long is it likely to take? I arrive at London Bridge at 6.50 each day – so sounds like a good detour as long as I’m not going to be waiting for hours!!

    This morning I arrived at 7.10 am and got mine at 11.30 – so 4hrs 40 wait. When I left the queue had almost evaporated, so likely to be lots left still, and certainly enough to get one tonight or tomorrow I would imagine.

      I arrived at 11am and received my pass at 14:20, the lady who served me said I was around the 1,00th person. It looked like there waqs still a 2 hour queue behind me.
