Aqua ShardLevel 31, The Shard, 31 St. Thomas Street, London, SE1 9RY

Afternoon Tea Awards 2018 - Highly Commended

Aqua Shard, located on Level 31 of The Shard, offers a contemporary British Afternoon Tea with breath-taking views of the London skyline.

The contemporary cosmopolitan interior has distinctly British touches; gin and tea, both with strong roots in South London, have inspired the design along with Liberty fabrics which appear in subtle touches throughout the restaurant, complementing the dark oak floor.

Take a trip down memory lane with an exciting new Mary Poppins Afternoon Tea at Aqua Shard. Inspired by the much loved work of P.L. Travers, the new menu coincides with the re-release of the classic books from Harper Collins.

Aqua Shard was awarded a Highly Commended certificate at the Afternoon Tea Awards 2018 in recognition of its high quality Afternoon Tea service.
