Do I need to print my ticket?

No. A mobile ticket displayed on your phone is accepted at the entrance.

What is the difference between the timed-slot and Saturday-only tickets?

Timed-slot tickets let you pick a specific entry time on most days of the week. Saturday-only tickets are date-flexible for Saturdays but do not carry a fixed entry time — check availability when booking.

Is there a time limit once I'm inside?

No. Once admitted, you can spend as long as you like on the viewing floors.

Can children visit, and do they need a ticket?

Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Children under 3 do not need a ticket and enter free of charge.

Is the Champagne Experience included in the standard ticket?

No. The Champagne Experience — which includes a glass of Moët & Chandon Imperial Brut at the bar — is a separate ticket option you can select at the time of booking.

How do I get to the Shard?

London Bridge station (National Rail and the Jubilee and Northern lines) is directly adjacent to the building, making it one of the most accessible attractions in central London.
