Shard- Beware
Don't know if this has been mentioned before but.......
Anyone thinking of visiting the Shard should be aware of their non-trainers policy-even if is the kids who are wearing them. Only shoe wearers are allowed!!!
It is not on their website.
“We must avoid however, snapping away, shooting quickly and without thought, overloading ourselves with unnecessary images that clutter our memory and diminish the clarity of the whole.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson -
Take your trainers off, hang them around your neck and go in bare foot
LOL
I was there yesterday. My wife and daughter were admitted but not poor old me.
I did suggest i remove my trainers but was advised that would not be appreciated
A couple of familys were also turned away because their youngsters were wearing boat shoes for goodness sake.
Really strange behaviuor and there is nothing on their webste about these restrictions.
Is it April 1st?

There's a business opportunity there.... a bit like bowling shoes.
Maybe its a perpetual 80's discotheque.

"In regards to your query, there is no restriction in “The View from The Shard” in regards to the dresscode or footwear. However, if you are going to the restaurants in The Shard which is a separate company they do have a dresscode."
Perhaps they should tell that to the"greeter" at the entrance!!
