Shard London Bridge

Shard London Bridge
taken from inside the grounds
of the Tower of London

In London at Easter with Alison, Andrew and the girls, visiting the Tower of London. In the grounds of the tower looking out over the Thames, there was a great view of this fantastic new building. Designed by Renzo Piano, the structure reminds me of another  building which I have always loved, the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco. The skyscraper designed by William Pereira, evokes fantastic memories of watching films and American TV as a child. For me it meant glamour and adventure and added to my obsession with all things state side.
The Shard opens in June and I will be first in the queue!
