Laser show dazzles London as Shard officially opens... but would you pay £25 for a lift ride up to the top?


Europe's tallest building, the Shard on London's south bank, opened tonight with a spectacular light and laser show.

From its uppermost floors on a crystal clear day, they reckon you can see France.

London Bridge station resembles a toy train set at the base of the building and every other landmark in the capital suddenly looks rather stumpy .... http://www.dailymail.co.uk
