The View from The Shard and Champagne Afternoon Tea at Fortnum & Mason, Royal Exchange for Two - Experience Voucher

Days out in London don’t get more iconic than this. Spend quality time together in style, with entry to The View from The Shard and a Champagne Afternoon Tea at Fortnum & Mason, Royal Exchange.

The two of you can make a journey 800ft skyward to The Shard’s open-top viewing platform on Level 72, where you can take in panoramic views over the sprawling city and beyond. Soak up the sights at your leisure, stretching out 40 miles in every direction, before making your way to the champions of Britain’s tastiest tradition, Fortnum & Mason.

Seated in the Royal Exchange’s spectacular central courtyard, you’ll dine on finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones and patisseries, accompanied by your choice of tea blend. Round things off with a glass of chilled Champagne.

What happens on the day?

Your ticket for two adults to The View from the Shard should be pre-booked, shortening the time spent in queues. The two of you can enjoy the experience at your leisure, queue and crowd free with no time restriction on your visit. You’ll take the elevator up to floors 68 and 69 and if you’re feeling adventurous, head up to the open top viewing platform on Level 72. 800ft in the air, you’ll get unparalleled views over the city and beyond.

When you arrive for your afternoon tea, you’ll be warmly welcomed and shown to your pre-booked table in The Fortnum’s Bar & Restaurant at The Royal Exchange. Sit back, relax and soak up the surroundings of the spectacular central courtyard, before tucking into exquisite sweet and savoury delights with a glass of chilled Champagne.
