Anyone who has walked the streets around London Bridge station recently cannot have failed to notice the Shard, which was past its 40th storey the last time I looked. When complete, the skyscraper will reach 310m into the sky. So what will the views be like for the lucky few who can afford a penthouse at the apex?

Let's hope future residents don't ask for their money back.
