Shangri-La Hotel, At The Shard, London, recently opened Bar 31 on the hotel’s ground floor, located at No.31 St. Thomas Street. Situated at the base of The Shard on the busy commuter trail, Bar 31 offers visitors and locals alike an authentic welcome into its thriving London neighbourhood.

The bar’s neighbours happen to be some of London’s most skilled growers, producers and designers who provide an endless flow of inspiration for its menus, interiors and entertainment. Bar 31 serves the best of London’s craft beer including nearby Hiver Brewery’s Hiver Blonde honey beer and the dark full-bodied Porter beer from Anspach & Hobday. Local gins and spirits such as Jensen’s Old Tom gin produced at the Bermondsey Distillery, as well as homemade lemonade and a fine selection of cocktails, wines and Champagnes are available to suit every taste. Locally sourced ingredients lie at the heart of the food menu which includes British cured meats from Cannon & Cannon and cheeses from Neal’s Yard Dairy.

Local artists provide the visual backdrop for the bar, and talented buskers have been recruited from the streets of London to play live music onFriday and Saturday nights. From lunch time until late, Bar 31 is fast becoming a part of the London Bridge community.
