This year in London the Shard is being lit up again for Christmas, and New Year. The top 20 floors are lit up by 552 high definition LED lights, which had taken 4500 hours last year to install, with 8 kilometres of cable. This year's light display has been produced and made by children in the local area, of London. It runs until the 30th December, but on New Year's Eve there is a special Finale.

You could join in with all the fun, and have great views from The Shard, as well as being able to experience the fantastic light display. "Kick off the New Year with a flying start at the Ultimate New Year's party at the top of The Shard", this is a extract from the website of The Shard. They have a couple of floors which they have arranged to have celebrations for New Year. There is the Oblix, Hutong, Aqua Shard and Shangri-La Hotel. It's an amazing once in a lifetime experience, it's not an opportunity that should be missed!

So get your tickets quickly, if you want to be part of this journey. Not only will you be able to stay in London, you could go shopping, visit the London Eye, but you could stay at The Shard, also known as The Shard of Glass, or even The Shard of London Bridge.
