Three glass-walled rooms on level 34 of The Shard, 125 metres above the Thames, with the hotel's 202 rooms and suites above them.
Level 34 at Shangri-La The Shard
Level 34 of Shangri-La The Shard, London holds three private rooms and the Sky Lounge in 400 square metres of floor-to-ceiling glass, 125 metres above the Thames. The hotel occupies levels 34 to 52 of The Shard, Western Europe's tallest building, so every room in it sits in the sky above London Bridge. The entrance is on St Thomas Street on the south bank, beside London Bridge Station, with Borough Market and the South Bank a few minutes away.
The Ren, Li and Yi Rooms on level 34 take their names from the Confucian virtues of benevolence, propriety and righteousness, and a wedding moves between them with the skyline on every side. The ceremony is held in the Li Room or the Yi Room, facing London Bridge and St Paul's on one side and Tower Bridge and the Tower of London on the other. The Champagne reception is in one of the private rooms or the Sky Lounge next door, the wedding breakfast in the Ren Room, the largest of the three, looking across the river to the City, and the evening stays on the same floor before guests go up to their rooms.
