    Afternoon tea!
    Tsz-Cheong C.

    What a breathtaking Afternoon Tea Experience at Oblix in the Shard. When you arrive at the building, you need to go through a security screening. After that you proceed to the 2 banks of elevator. The elevator only takes you to one floor, the 32nd. When you arrive you are instantly mesmerized by the beautiful views all around. Do yourself a favor and don't pay the extra 20 pounds a person to be seated by the window. You can take pictures later by the window and around the grounds when you're there. The food and teas were amazing. They offered a delectable assortment of teas to choose from. The sandwiches are savory and perfectly cut and plated. Every bite a perfect balance of flavors and textures. A big shoutout to the cranberry scones as they were out of this world delicious! Pair that with the clotted cream and perseveres and you're literally in dessert heaven. Every sandwich and dessert had it's own signature flavor profile as nothing tastes the same from each other, Bravo my friends! The service was attentive without being too obtrusive. Oblix has mastered the art of creating unforgettable memories through food, ambiance, and hospitality. This is a complete sensory experience that showcases the beauty of London from every angle. I cannot recommend it highly enough and look forward to returning one day to create more magical memories high above the city.

    The food here was all very tasty, though small portions. The ambiance is great obviously mostly because of the view, but also because everyone in there was made of money. Our server Jorge was amazing and I wish I could give a better review for him but the small portions and outrages prices just wouldn't justify it.

    I had an amazing vegetarian dish! Side dishes that did not disappoint your tastebuds. Food pórtions were perfect. I was too excited about devouring my dinner that I fáiled to take images. It had an open kitchen concept! Service was fantastic. Ended the night with the most amazing sundae (on the house). They served it to me in the lounge after dinner. And the views of London in the evening were beautiful.

    We had a stellar dinner here in our recent trip to London. Our server was "Man" as in Super Man as he introduced himself. We were seated at a cost table in the corner overlooking the city. The restaurant sits 30+ floors over the city and the views are stunning. We tried foods from across the menu and everything was a hit. Cocktails and wine recommendations from the sommelier were great too. We would highly recommend this spot for anyone celebrating a special occasion. Make sure you get a table on the "glass for the best views!

    There are two side to this restaurant. The East side for drinks and small bites and the West side for full restaurant. We came for dinner but started with drinks first as our table was not ready. The view of London is amazing on either side. Our window table was booked a month in advance and there's a £20 guarantee fee added. We did the tasting menu for £98 per person. Come hungry for this. I suppose my expectation was a little too high as I think it is not worth the money we paid for the food. It was ok. The wait staff is also ok. If you want to see London at night, and don't care much about dining. The east side is good enough!

    What a great experience. The staff was super attentive, friendly, and didn't rush a moment of this experience. Got a beautiful window front view of the city. Food was great, all cooked perfectly to order. Highly recommend this experience for a nice dinner out!

    HIGHLIGHTS? The green beans & Parmesan / truffle fries. Wagyu burger. German waitress was lovely. Steak. Elevator. LowLIGHTS? Food & cocktails are average.. Lobster was lacking flavour and rubbery. Dessert selection was super boring -- especially for London. Apart from the German waitress -- terrible. Not even salt and pepper / napkins on our table. WARNING -- not all "window" seats are windows (& we got put in a rubbish corner). Pre-booked window seat and put in corner without a view. Talked to waiter who told me he was too busy to check my reservation. Mentioned it to host who said that technically I had a window even if it just looked over another restaurant. Manager said "she would try" and then never came back. Zero interest. Obviously recurring scam. Ruined the experience of the sunset I had planned for my family and booked 1 month in advance. Super frustrating as they didn't care.

    Might be the best meal I've ever had. Make a reservation for Oblix West and pay the extra to secure a window table. The views of London won't disappoint from up here. The service was impeccable, friendly, and not stuffy. My husband and I both ordered the signature peppercorn steak. It cut like butter and was cooked perfectly. Wine list is comprehensive with a knowledgeable sommelier. We ordered Slingshot, a reasonably priced red, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. For sides, my husband ordered fries and I ordered the tomato and olive salad. We declined dessert but they brought out a dish for our anniversary. It was delicious and a nice touch. I think the ice cream and pastry were homemade. After dinner we chose to enjoy an after dinner drink, and the hostess walked us to Oblix East and sat us in there with a view of the east side of the city and live music. The whole evening, both East and West, was perfect. We can't wait to return.

    Stopped for a quick couple days in London on our way to Ireland and made reservations for Oblix East. We knew it was a tasting menu but thought we'd only get to choose one item from each of the three courses, but no...you get all the things on the menu! There were 5 items in the first course, 4 items in the second course, and a huge plate of desserts for the last course. We felt like this was an incredible value for the £65/pp we paid. We added the the wine pairing on for an additional £32 each, which we also thought was a steal for 3 glasses of wine (although we didn't love the last wine offering.) All of the food was really, really good, but the buttermilk chicken in the first course was exceptionally good. Every dish had so much flavor and texture, and we were wowwed with every bite. Going in, we thought we'd probably leave hungry but we actually couldn't finish the entire meal! The restaurant is lovely inside and the booths have comfy loveseats instead of chairs. The views are amazing, obviously. It was a rainy evening but we enjoyed watching the Tower Bridge light up as it got dark. You are basically right above the London Bridge tube station and it was even fun watching the trains come and go. Georgia (our server) and Maxim (the sommelier) took excellent care of us. AND the Pink Cadillac is absolutely one of the best cocktails I've ever had.

    Wagyu burger with fries 6.71/10- the meat was juicy and the cheese was melted perfectly however it was honestly a bit dry and I found the bread to be overwhelming. The fries were okay, needed a bit of seasoning Calamari 3.69/10- honestly disappointing, bit too over fried but I like the jalapeño however a bit disappointed I thought there would be more flavor. The lime was necessary to be squeezed on top Truffle fries 6.41/10- the truffle was good however they were a bit too thick cut for my liking. The shredded Parmesan was a great touch. White wine 4.32/10- light and tasted good at first but the after taste creeped up on you and was overbearing and "obnoxious" Truffle flatbread -2/10- literally so small, was not really flatbread, didn't really have sauce so it was dry. The truffle pieces were big though. The flatbread also had pancetta (ham) on it and when asked to substitute or remove the ham the server ridiculed and insisted on keeping it though the customer stated that she doesn't eat red meat.. which was quite rude Pasta 5/10- It was so plain, there was literally no flavor or spice however it was still your classic red sauce penne pasta so it was still bearable Dessert platter 2.47/10- for having 4 desserts on here this was incredibly disappointing. Everything was just terrible. The icecream flavors tasted so artificial and consistency sucked. The cheesecake flavor was bland and sour, the crust was also not good. The chocolate hazelnut pie was just okay- mid at best Honestly the food and service at Oblix the Shard was incredibly disappointing. Considering the Shard is the tallest building in the United Kingdom and Oblix is pricey, the only thing about good about this restaurant was the view. The servers were rude and it took roughly 2 hours for us to even get our food. The food in question was terrible quality and ridiculously priced for no reason other than tourism. Great view tho.

    Crab Cakes
    Claire Y.

    Made a reservation for a window table but was late and lost our table. However they were able to find us some seats at the high table next to the window. Waitress is very nice and pretty busy, so not as attentive. Food is amazing! Absolutely love the lobster and crab spaghetti, and the creamy green beans. The crab cake is only okay, nothing too special. View was not as nice since it's a rainy day but overall a great experience and would def come back in the future. (Restaurant is right attached to the London Bridge underground station and super convenient)

    We dined at Oblix for my girlfriend's birthday last week and everyone was amazing!!! I had forgotten to include that we were dining for a birthday in my notes however the staff were so nice and accommodating & even brought out a dessert with a candle to make the even more special. Ok, so the meal was immaculate. We ordered crab cakes and calamari to start. The drinks were also great. The pork chops were tender and well seasoned (they come with a bbq glaze). The dessert took me by surprise because it was so big. I ordered a brownie sundae & it was massive. Overall, the food was amazing and the view was unmatched. Perfect for a romantic date night or special occasion!

In 9 out of 10 interactions, the staff were genuinely excellent--warm, attentive, and clearly trained in the fine art of making guests feel like royalty (as you'd expect at this price point). There are multiple restaurants and bars to choose from, a steady stream of live music drifting through the late afternoons into the evenings, and quite possibly the best cleaning and turn-down service I've ever encountered--truly next-level pillow fluffing. Now, my one gripe: the light--or lack thereof. Despite having three decently sized windows, they're covered in a mysterious film that blocks natural light more effectively than blackout curtains ever could. It gives the rooms (and oddly, the lobby too) a slightly subterranean vibe--perfect if you're a vampire, less ideal if you're someone who enjoys knowing whether it's day or night.

Drinks are creative, whimsical, fun and playful. I'm not much of a drinker so I was concerned this would be a bit much for me, but this is about the experience, the drinks werent too big or overly boozy, or anything. The themes from the 39 euro tasting menu are: 1. Cocktail history. This is the most traditional drink direction 2. Naughty childhood. Drinks are candy and dessert based. Not necessarily overly sweet so don't worry about that. 3. Nature. 4. West meets east. Asian themed drinks. This was most creative and I wish I got this one. 5. Gourmet. French themed. This is the one that didn't get chosen from our group. 6. Get ready and go. London themed. All the drinks were super creative. There was so much thought around presentation put into them. And they update their drinks regularly. I'll definitely come back so I can try more of the other themes. Note. They have very very minimal snacks available so make sure you eat ahead of time.

This hotel was once a bank, and the conversion to a 74 room hotel was well executed. On the negative side, the sound insulation between rooms is inadequate, and the HVAC system is not equipped from very hot weather. Although not without flaws, Threadneedles impressed me overall. Arrival: Friendly and helpful doorman Check-in: Efficient and friendly check-in. Acknowledged my Marriott status. Room (314): Nice king room with all the usual appliances including Nespresso coffee maker, tea kettle, mini-refrigerator, iron, TV, etc. Bed: Good king bed, decent linens. Sleep quality: overall good but the walls are paper thin. I was fortunate that the neighboring rooms did not have noisy occupants at night. But in the morning, I could clearly hear a parent in the adjoining room lecturing his young daughter. Bathroom: Spacious bathroom with excellent tub. Housekeeping: excellent housekeeping service and turn down service. Service:Overall excellent service HVAC: I visited during a record setting heat wave in London, and the HVAC system in the room was completely inadequate. The room was hot the whole time. Fortunately, staff brought me a fan, the fan and my extreme fatigue were the only factors that allowed me to sleep the first night. Seriously consider another hotel of London is experiencing a heat wave. Tips: (1) I was able to take the train from Heathrow (had to change to a second train at Paddington), and it was an easy walk from the train station to the hotel even with a large suitcase. (2) There's a great pub 1 block away called The Counting House. (3) Threadneedles is in the heart of the financial district. Many pubs and restaurants in the area are not open on the weekend.

Upon walking in, you are greeted and in awe of the beautiful sitting area with its amazing stained glass dome. I found myself in awe each time I walked through. The rooms are also exceptional. Very tastefully decorated and not over the top, as some other higher-end hotels seem to be, lately. I also found that the cleaning service and turn-down service were magical. I don't know how they seemed to know when I had left my room, but upon my return it was always clean, and at night the turn-down service was a lovely surprise to find a small mint and a linen mist on my pillow. Now let's talk about something which is an often-overlooked feature of a hotel stay: the breakfast. This is typically a throwaway perk that anyone who travels a bit understands. At best, it's a spread of cereals and maybe a bagel or two. Most of the time it's served in a crappy lobby with coffee that has been sitting there for hours and servers who want to be anywhere else but there.  It usually screams, "Eat fast.  Please leave." Not here. Oh no. Even the breakfast is next level here. Sure, it contained all the normal things you would expect, such as bagels, toast, and cereal, but then they took it to the next level with some beautiful doughnuts, sliced meats and some cheese, yogurt with all the toppings you could want, and a beautiful selection of sliced fruit. However, what really made the breakfast experience phenomenal were the people. Specifically, Amesh, Epon, and Mohin. Each morning when I would walk through the doors, I would be greeted, and they would immediately take a coffee or tea order to go make it themselves. They were also incredibly friendly and attentive. I found their smiles infectious and a great way to start the day. This type of attitude was prevalent amongst all the staff.  They were simply the friendliest people of my day, and that really meant a lot when you are thousands of miles from home, in a city you don't know, by yourself.  Thank you!
