Looking out onto the evolving cluster of towers, you'll get a real understanding of how the city's developing from the 72nd level of this terrace. It's by far my favorite viewpoint in London!

The image was taken from the viewing deck on the 72nd level of The Shard looking directly north onto the city skyscrapers.
Upon arrival, walk down London Bridge St to the left of Shangri-La Hotel. Just past the escalators, you'll find the entrance to The Shard. Then, it's as simple as following the ticket staff directions through security and taking the lift to get to the top. Once there, make your way up all the steps to the highest level, face north, and be amazed at the view!
