Best Bars in the World – The GŎNG, London

If you are looking for the best place in London to celebrated your latest million-euro-deal, this could be it: the GŎNG, the 52nd floor bar of Shangri-La Hotel, At The Shard, London. The GŎNG is one of the best bars in the world and the bar features a Champagne and cocktail bar with a very exclusive drinks list.

One of the great things of GŎNG is that it is the highest bar in London. Having a drink and bite here offers the bonus of wonderful views of St Paul’s Cathedral, the London Eye, Westminster and other highlights of the London cityscape.

Obviously, dress code is smart casual. The drinks are a bit pricey – starting from €22 for a cocktail – but who cares after having closing a million-euro deal? Order some Beluga caviar € 248 and enjoy your big win, and the view.

The 52nd floor of the Shangri-La Hotel in London offers a beautiful infinity sky pool – the highest pool in Western Europe. An interesting detail about GŎNG is that its name derived from 'dougong' - a unique structural element of interlocking wooden brackets, used in traditional Chinese architecture and also featured in the bar.
