The multi-award winning building was designed by world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind to represent a globe shattered by conflict.
At 55 metres high, the Air Shard tower leans at four degrees from vertical. Take the lift to the 29-metre-high platform offering spectacular views across The Quays and Manchester.
