The Best Views of Superman as he soars over The Shard on July 1st
Get the best possible view of the Man of Steel as he graces London for a whole day!
On July 1st, London will collectively ‘Look Up’ as a spectacular first of its kind stunt will see a Superman sculpture hover within the exposed spire of The Shard, 1,000 feet above the UK’s capital city.
You’ve come to the right place to make sure you get the best possible view of the Man of Steel, as he graces London for a whole day ahead of the July 11th cinema release of Superman.
To help you get unrivalled, unobstructed views of the 11ft figure, which will face north-east from the Shard’s very highest point, we are positioning ‘Look Up’ brand ambassadors with Superman T-shirts and binoculars they’ll let you borrow if you ask nicely…
There will be four agents in total, and you can find them at the vantage points below, all south of the river in the Southwark area.

ABOUT SUPERMAN
“Superman,” DC Studios’ first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures. In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.
DC Studios heads Peter Safran and Gunn are producing the film, which Gunn directs from his own screenplay, based on characters from DC, Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
The film stars David Corenswet (“Twisters,” “Hollywood”) in the dual role of Superman/Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”) as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult (the “X-Men” movies, “Juror #2”) as Lex Luthor. The film also stars Edi Gathegi (“For All Mankind”), Anthony Carrigan (“Barry,” “Gotham”), Nathan Fillion (the “Guardians of the Galaxy” films, “The Suicide Squad”), Isabela Merced (“Alien Romulus”), Skyler Gisondo (“Licorice Pizza,” “Booksmart”), Sara Sampaio (“At Midnight”), María Gabriela de Faría (“The Moodys”), Wendell Pierce (“Selma,” “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan”), Alan Tudyk (“Andor”), Pruitt Taylor Vince (“Bird Box”) and Neva Howell (“Greedy People”).
“Superman” is executive produced by Nikolas Korda, Chantal Nong Vo and Lars Winther. Behind the camera, Gunn is joined by frequent collaborators, including director of photography Henry Braham, production designer Beth Mickle, costume designer Judianna Makovsky and composer John Murphy, along with editors Craig Alpert (“Deadpool 2,” “Blue Beetle”), Jason Ballantine (the “IT” films, “The Flash”) and William Hoy (“The Batman”).
Superman is in cinemas July 11.

Vantage Points:
1) BOROUGH MARKET
The best place to get the closest possible view of the Son of Krypton looking down over London, there are several fantastic spots within the ever-busy Borough Market where you can safely view the sculpture with your naked eyes or binoculars and our brand ambassadors can be found this region all morning and over lunch, including…- Fish! Just outside the Cathedral Street fish restaurant.
- Corner of Park Street - directly beneath the Borough Market sign and The Market Porter Pub.
2) STONEY STREET & SOUTHWARK STREET
The corner of Stoney Street and Southwark Street, right next to Tapas Brandisa and the Southwark Tavern provides a fantastic view, slightly more front-on, with plenty of save large pavement space.
3) MAIDEN LANE
If you want to view Superman away from the hustle and bustle of Borough Market but still with an awesome unobstructed view, we suggest you seek out Maiden Lane.
4) SUMNER STREET
This quiet road that crosses Southwark Bridge Road provides an equally good unobstructed view at a slightly less steep angle than Borough Market. The further east you travel along the road the closer to Superman.5) SOUTHWARK BRIDGE
The famous Southwark Bridge is a great chance to see Superman top The Shard with the world famous River Thames in the same eyeline, and we’ll have a brand ambassador there with binoculars to ensure you get the best possible view.ABOUT SUPERMAN
