Flower Power At Aqua Shard For The RHS Chelsea Flower Show | Level 31, The Shard, 31 St Thomas Street, London SE1 9RY
Metal and Glass had to get used to their new colourful neighbours…
Just when we thought we couldn’t love The Shard any more than we do already, aqua shard has been temporarily transformed into an English country garden to celebrate the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. A towering twenty-foot floral tribute by McQueens stands proud in the atrium of the restaurant alongside a stretch of gorgeous potted plants.

- Rhubarb cocktail + this backdrop = ?

- We wish our garden was this beautiful

- Crate wasn’t the best at hide and seek

- Looks like Bill and Ben have been evicted!

In keeping with the floral theme, the kitchen team has created an exclusive menu which will run for the duration of RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Echoing the scents and flowers within the installation, the menu features Jasmine tea-steamed artichoke with teal and citrus jelly and Jerusalem artichoke mousse with Viola flowers.
Followed by Roasted wild sea bass with white bean stew, aloe vera cubes, dandelion seasoned with acacia rose vinaigrette. For dessert, an orange blossom and pink pepper panna cotta will be served with black olive crumble and a white chocolate sorbet.
After all this you’ll want to retire upstairs to one of the rooms in the Shangri-la…
Installation from 15th May, Chelsea Flower Show Garden menu from Monday 18th May to Sunday 24th May 2015. Menu priced at £49pp.
