I’ve lived in London for a while now and honestly, this is the first time I’m hearing that I can actually get my own ticket for a year-long Shard visit! Woo-hoo! Good thing January is around the corner; I’m definitely utilizing the offer.
Yeah, I missed out on this year but definitely on it for next January!
