A BEAUTIFUL DAY FROM START TO FINISH
"The shard was breath taking, the staff were very kind and helpful & the cocktails were incredible (especially the passionfruit mojito!) The food at Fortnum and Mason was as lovely as you are imagining. The portion sizes were a good size and the food was presented beautifully. My partner was given a Happy Birthday lemon tart along with our other 2 puddings which was delicious! By the time we left we were ready to burst! "

Great Experience
We had a great experience at both The Shard and Fortnum and Mason, the views from the Shard are awesome and we spent a couple of hours watching the world go by whilst picking out famous sites. Our experience was made better as the crowds still haven't returned since lockdown. The service and food at F&M was excellent and socialising distancing measures implemented were reassuring however it was a shame it was eerily quiet there as well, hopefully the crowds will return soon.

Best Birthday Ever!
"Amazing views and beautiful tasty food dining at Fortnum and Mason after a sunset view from the shard! For maximum impact make sure to book the view from the shard around sunset (google sunset times) and enjoy the cosy lamp lit scene at the restarting by going after dark. To be a little €œextra€ book a Uber Lux from the shard/hotel to your dining experience! The partner will love it! Staff are very welcoming and attentive a seamless night out in London's capital city! Thank you! "

Appalling service
Would never use Virgin Experience days again. Was not able to use my voucher and was told I could not speak to someone because phone lines closed "due to Covid".
