We were able to make a reservation for 3 people at 6 pm for the Ting Restaurant on level 35 as we entered the Shard at the ground level. They allowed us one hour for drinks and small bites, which worked for us because we had dinner plans elsewhere. There's a security check before you take the elevator up. The view and ambiance were great.

I was so looking forward to this as we had perfect clear blue skies and were approaching sunset. Booked the champagne tickets, the Moet didn't disappoint. First sight the stunning view complete with ample dirty glass covered in water marks, what a let down! The sun on the dirt made it even worse. Thankfully if you could find a bit of protected glass you could enjoy the view, see the difference in the last 2 photos, it's worse in real life. It's been dry in the UK for ages, so I couldn't fathom why it was so dirty, a fundamental flaw. It really ruined it as it made rubbish photos and was distracting when looking. The 2 levels were spacious enough, but there is very little seating. I can't stand for long due to recovering from an injury, so it cut our visit short, departing before sunset. The bars were great and queue short but expectedly exorbitant. Overall, disappointed, I'd recommend the Eye over this if you want a good view of London, especially as the extra height doesn't really offer much more to see as the landscape is low and in the main bland farther afield. It does afford good views of the trains (stop motion like) and river but not in detail due to the distance.

Always wanted to try this or Sky Gardens in London and finally got the opportunity. Good service at ground level and after going through security you can head up to floor 32 for drinks. The automated lift takes you up in around 15 seconds which is quick and you do feel it. On the doors opening your met with some art work and turning right a stunning view of London. As you can see the weather was good! 3 bars to choose from we ventured to floor 33 and enjoyed a drink and some crab. It’s an experience but a little pretentious. Even if I were rich paying £18 for a single drink and £14 for some crab is over priced. In total with a service charge £40.25. It was worth it for the experience and the view but I’ll only do it once. Sky Gardens next time 👌
