Is there anywhere to eat or drink in The Shard?
There is indeed. Start by steadying height-related nerves at The View from The Shard’s signature Champagne Bar, then head into the belly of the beast (i.e. The Shard’s mid-level floors) for restaurants-with-a-view that include Aqua Shard’s contemporary British cuisine on the 31st floor and urban-casual dining at Oblix on the 32nd.
A bit formal for ya? You’re also right by Borough Market, with its eclectic mix of global street food and stalwart restaurants like Applebee’s, Padella and Roast.
E se o tempo estiver muito ruim?
O clima de Londres é reconhecidamente instável, mas normalmente ainda há muito o que ver com mau tempo. Por uma taxa extra, você pode comprar uma Garantia de Clima com seu ingresso. Com este seguro adicional, você tem a chance de voltar outro dia de graça se os principais pontos turísticos não estiverem visíveis naquele dia.
