Ting at the Shangri-La
On the 35th floor of the Shard, Ting delivers the astonishing views that you would expect. What I didn't expect was the incredible food that was pretty good value for money - £55 for four mouth-watering courses and the prettiest dessert I've ever seen!

"The Great Fire of London began in a bakers on Pudding Lane in 1666 and destroyed a third of the city. It took five days to put out, with one of the methods used being gunpowder to demolish buildings and create breaks in the flames."
The regeneration of the Lambeth area is continuing at a pace...keep your eye on this part of London.
