Absolutely love the food here. Beautiful ambience and great service. Will surely visit this place again.
Amazing place in London. I love the food. can’t wait to come back here again. Congratulations to the staff.
The Gong Bar has the best view and a very romantic setup. Fine menu collection and the staff is also very friendly. Being the hotel guests, we didn’t had to make any prior bookings.
I absolutely loved this place! The staff were unbelievably helpful and it was just amazing service, I had dropped my drink by accident and they gave me a new one with no charge! I would definitely recommend this place because the food, service, atmosphere and view was all worth it :)
Quelle Belle Vue! On a recent business trip to London and had to check this bar out as a priority! 52nd floor of The Shard - Wow! Best view in London! Really entertaining waiters doing their cocktail thing like Tom Cruise! Lobster rolls to accompany my champagne! Does life get any better!
Located on level 52 of The Shard, Gong is an Asian-themed cocktail bar on the top floor of the Shangri-La Hotel. Beautifully decorated and equally stunning views of London. An absolute must. The minimum spend at this bar is....
It’s not everyday that you find yourself sipping cocktails in the highest bar in Europe. More rare still, that you do so in in the company of bartending royalty. So it was with much excitement and anticipation that I accepted an invitation to a special evening at GŎNG at Shangri-La hotel at the Shard…
Arriving at the iconic building, I headed up to the Shangri-La’s reception on the 34th floor – pausing momentarily to take in the sweeping views across London...
Before being whisked up another 18 floors to GŎNG – the hotel’s sleek cocktail bar which imbibes modern Asian elements in its contemporary design. If the views lower down in the Shard are breathtaking, the panorama offered from this vantage point on the 52nd floor is simply unparalleled, stretching out over an endless horizon. On certain full-moon nights, you can even gaze out at the stars through the bar’s dedicated telescope!
A new cocktail menu at GŌNG has just launched – and if you need the perfect date night location then you’re going to want to read on. Eighteen original creations compose a cocktail journey through time. Each one is inspired by a stage in life, a familiar mood and a captured memory. From simple and carefree, magical moments, to daring and reckless pleasures; from confident and rich experiences, to memories of timeless treasures and accomplishments. GŌNG at the five-star Shangri-La Hotel, At The Shard, London, is on level 52 and is the highest bar in Western Europe.
The GONG Bar is an amazing chill-out spot, with a very romantic ambience. The dimmed light gives it a very sophisticated vibe and at night the view of London all lit up is just incredible! as they say London literally comes to live at night. The GONG bar is a luxurious, sleek, Asian-themed cocktail bar with a breath-taking view of London, on the 52nd floor of the Shangri-La Hotel at The Shard. The GONG bar is accompanied by an infinity pool, which offers guest tranquil far above the noise and heat of the city. It has become a unique addition to London’s first elevated bar. Facing west across the city, the 11×4 meter heated pool features stunning view of St Paul’s cathedral, the London Eye and Westminster, providing the perfect spot to enjoy the iconic vistas.

Perfect place to feel special. The Man took me there for a birthday treat.
We did have to wait for 45 minutes in the lobby as they don't take bookings but 2 elevators later and we were high in the sky on level 52.
The waiting staff are lovely and offered to put us on the waiting list for a windows seat, which we moved to within 5 minutes. The view was fantastic. . . As were the very expensive cocktails and never ending supply of free bar snacks.
Ok, my cocktails were £17each and there is a minimum spend of £30 pp but the way I see it is - it's the price of a ticket to 'The View' (viewing room at top of the Shard) but with cocktails thrown in.
I had a 'Silk Road ' and a Turkish berry chocolate one. They were both beautiful and wonderfully presented.
The only improvement I would make is to have gaps by the windows so you can walk around to see the whole view without getting in somebody's personal space.
Definitely worth a visit for that special evening. (Tables are yours for 2 hours guaranteed, longer if there is no one else waiting)
