The City of London Today the City is a mostly commercial district. Many people know that the City is the historic heart of London. But it isn't all about history or historic buildings.  There has been plenty of construction activity in the 20th and early 21st century.

City Hall

The Shard
 The Shard is the newest and tallest skyscraper in London. The tower has a viewing gallery and open-air observation deck . The Shard is clad entirely in glass. It reminds us of a house of cards. The corners of The Shard are open and the shards don't touch, which helps with air circulation inside the building. The tower is 310 meters tall.
