Although this site is about gift memberships, one of the things about many gift memberships that's great is that they give the lucky recipient many days out.

So if you're looking for a great day out for someone, how about giving them an experience with The View from the Shard?

It's the tallest building in London - and in Western Europe!  With its incredible architecture and amazing 360 degree across London, you can enjoy the sights both in Level 69’s indoor viewing gallery and on Level 72’s open-air platform - it has views for up to 40 miles! 

So how about giving someone special the opportunity to visit The View from the Shard and to experience this view for themselves - and then to enjoy a three course meal afterwards at Marco Pierre White's London Steakhouse Co?!

Well, Virgin Experience Days have just that opportunity combined in one - and what's more, they've got a special offer on it!

The Special Offer...

For just £111 instead of £192, you can enjoy  a Visit to The View from The Shard and Three Course Meal at Marco Pierre White's London Steakhouse Co for Two!  This saves you 42%.   Some things are excluded - such as side orders - and tea & coffee cost extra. And a discretionary service charge of 12.5% will be added to your bill.  But nonetheless, this is quite an offer!

The restaurant is about 15-20 minutes away from The View to the Shard, so you need to allow travel time, and you also need to pre-book your ticket to the Shard in advance.  The good news about pre-booking is that it will reduce your time queuing.
