Location: The View from The Shard
August 1, 2017 - September 30, 2017
This summer, The View from The Shard are introducing two new exhilarating Virtual Reality experiences on their open-air Skydeck. For a limited time, you’ll be able to test your balance on ‘Vertigo’ or enjoy the thrill of ‘The Slide’ travelling at up to 100 miles per hour… if you dare!
THE SLIDE
Enjoy the thrill of travelling at up to 100mph on the world’s highest virtual slide. Experience heights up to 800ft above London on an adrenaline-fuelled 360-degree virtual reality experience that swoops and slides through the city’s skyline. The hair-raising ride takes you on an extreme multi-sensory journey and finally answers the call of Londoner’s to turn The Shard into a helter skelter!
VERTIGO
Test your nerve and fear of heights on Vertigo! This virtual adventure sees the building fall away, leaving you suspended in the air, walking across The Shard’s early infrastructure and balancing on the stripped back construction site of Western Europe’s tallest building. Romeo the fox – our mascot that represents the intrepid real fox who was discovered on level 72 during construction of the building – also makes an appearance as you take your instructions from the site foreman.
VIRTUAL REALITY TICKETS AVAILABLE TO BOOK UPON ARRIVAL ON THE OPEN-AIR SKYDECK
