About this space

Aqua Shard is a high-level restaurant and bar defined by sweeping panoramic city views.

Design: The dining rooms use a restrained contemporary palette of dark ceilings, polished brass fittings and deep leather banquettes paired with white-clothed tables. The layout mixes curved booth seating, low pendant lights and mirrored surfaces to create intimate sightlines.

Features: The venue comprises a main dining room, a dedicated bar and a bookable private dining room, all supported by an in-house kitchen and a full drinks list including wines and cocktails. The venue provides a PA and speaker system, permits own music and external DJs, and includes Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, wheelchair access, accessible toilets and a step‑free entrance.

Ideal for: Corporate teams and social groups seeking formal seated dinners or lively cocktail receptions.

What guests say: Aqua Shard delivers high-quality food and memorable cocktails. Aqua Shard shows inconsistent service levels and can become warm and noisy during busy or themed services.
