Is The Shard Value?
The Shard is charging £24.95 to go to the top. The Emirates Cable-Car is different and it costs just £3.20 to actually get somewhere. The London Eye is very coy about tickets and I think it costs £15, with the ability to pay extra for fast-track. You get fast-track for nothing on the cable-car if you use your Oyster card.
It strikes me that the choice is a no-brainer. Go on the cable-car, if cost is important to you.
One important point, is that all three projects have been realised by the MACE Group.
The Anonymous Widower 
Emirates looks the Best & the most enjoyable, . . . Why did the London Council let the Shard build such a Crappy Looking Building, in such an inapproriate site . . .

One does wonder? It was the previous Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, who gave planning permission. On Wikipedia, it says he would only give planning permission to skyscrapers of exceptional design.
