|
It's one of the most highly anticipated attractions in London and on Thursday night a string of exclusive guests were invited to party at the top of The Shard for the official opening.
And being girl of the moment, Pixie Lott, of course, was one of the stars on the guest list being wowed by the view from the London Bridge hot spot.
The Mama Do singer turned up to the launch party with her boyfriend Oliver Cheshire.

And she decided to ignore the wintry British weather to show off some skin in a summery frock.
But the 22-year-old risked looking washed out as she opted for a vibrant yellow next to her skin.
Keeping in with her vintage style, Pixie tried out the quirky number with collar detailing and cream lace across the front.

She completed her look with a white clutch bag and sky high platform shoes, while her blonde locks were worn down in a wavy half up 'do.
The pop star smiled sweetly for the cameras as her chiselled beau joined her as they posed up on entry.
Oliver looked dapper in skinny jeans and a white T-shirt, while smartening up his look in polished shoes and a black coat.

And Pixie was clearly delighted with the invite, writing on Twitter during the evening: 'Best view ever at the shard! Thank you for having us #shardview XXX... Can't wait to come back and stay.'
Although she wasn't the only famous face invited to try out the attraction.
Pregnant DJ Annie Mac was also present, disguising her growing bump in a loose fitting dress.
But she seemed happy to show off her changing figure as she posed to the side to give the best view she could of her burgeoning belly.

The opening day for the attraction, known as The View from the Shard, February 1 is sold out as is the second day, despite tickets costing up to £24.95 for adults and £18.95 for children.
In the viewing areas visitors will be able to look through special telescopes known as Tell: scopes.
These are particularly useful if visibility is poor as they show not only a live 'as it is' image but, at the push of a button, what a clear-day view would be as well as a sunset view and a night view.
New attraction: The Shard will open to the public on Friday and offers guests the chance to see London from 244 metres up
The Shard is part of a £2 billion redevelopment of the London Bridge area. The glassy, triangular-shaped Shard has 600,000sq ft of offices, three floors of restaurants and a 200-room Shangri-La hotel which is due to open this summer.
There are also 10 luxury apartments which are expected to go for as much as £50 million each and which are expected to be let out.
