Striking aerial video footage of the London Shard

I’ve been engrossed by the rise of the magnificent London Bridge Shard –  set to be Europes tallest building – and construction firm Mace have just released a video showing off some rather lovely aerial views.

Shot in late March 2011, you can get a good feel for the impressive height of the tower, although the prog-tastic backing music may send you racing towards the ‘mute’ button.

Check out the links below for photos of the tower.
