Views don't come better than the ones at the 308-metre- high Shard, which opened last summer amid much hype. We love, love, love the grand staircase and double-height windows, which offer the opportunity for an entrance and photo backdrop that pack a punch.
Have a cocktail reception in the Asian-influenced Gong Bar on the 52nd floor, or hold a champagne and canapé hour by the sleek pool. 'Wow' doesn't even come close.

You can't miss The Shard - all 72 floors of it, towering over London - and we wouldn't miss the chance to marry there, either.
Recently opened this year (and confirm pricing soon), it's the highest venue in the capital and its views are a checklist of the top sights - St Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge.
A dip in the pool on the 52nd floor is a must.
