Doriana Gusita Hutong at The Shard – London
I stopped by Hutong at The Shard for a cocktail on the day I was traveling back to Romania, and it turned out to be a very pleasant experience. The setting is undoubtedly the highlight — the panoramic views over the River Thames create a calm and memorable backdrop that elevates even a simple visit.
I visited around lunchtime, and the atmosphere was relaxed and not overly crowded, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It felt like a good moment to pause, take in the view, and unwind before heading to the airport. The cocktail was well made, balanced, and nicely presented, meeting expectations for a venue of this level.
Service was professional and smooth, and the overall ambiance felt polished without being too formal during the daytime. While Hutong is often known for its dining experience, it also works well as a spot for a refined drink with a view.
Overall, a good experience and a worthwhile stop if you’re visiting The Shard and want to enjoy a cocktail overlooking the Thames in London.
