London - We woke up early for our first day of using the London pass; it will be very busy day and have 5 attractions to complete today. When we reach London we were hunting around for the bus-stop for the
hop-on and off bus.

London Bridge Experience.

After watching the video of the history of the London Bridge, you are asked to follow a dimly light path to one station after another. It was an interesting experience as the actors act out the time of old London Bridge era and get the audience to participate. Told tales of old and finally we were led to down the final stage blind-folded to be scare by actors and props along the way. It was like a house of horrors.
After which, it was a short walk to
The Shard, is a 95-storey supertall skyscraper. The Shard is the tallest building in the United Kingdom, and the sixth-tallest building in Europe. The view at the top was priceless with 360 degree panoramic views. There is also an amazing open-air skydeck.
Getting up to the top was also amazing a remarkable lift speeed of 6 metres per second.
