(FILES) This file picture taken on January 9, 2013 shows the view of London, featruring St Paul’s Cathedral as seen from the 68th floor of The Shard in central London. The Shard — western Europe’s tallest skyscraper — opens its viewing platform to the public on February 1, 2013 giving unrivalled views over London and defiantly snubbing critics of the gigantic tower.
