The Shard

The Shard, London's most recognisable commercial address, has released 20,075 sq ft (1,865 sq m) of newly refurbished office space on Level 10.

The north-facing workspace offers uninterrupted views across the capital and features three winter gardens, providing fresh air and dedicated breakout space. Delivered in Cat A condition, the floor provides occupiers with flexible, open workspace alongside best-in-class WiredScore Platinum certification.

Last week, The Shard hosted a special pop-up exhibition by Siobhán McAuley, shining a light on the creative talent that exists within our occupier community.

The exhibition offered visitors a rare opportunity to experience the work of an artist whose professional and creative worlds intersect within the building itself. Alongside her artistic practice, Siobhán is part of The Shard community, working as a freelance Ingest MCR Operator and Floor Manager for Al Jazeera.

As part of this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week at The Shard, we held a series of experiences designed to encourage wellbeing and connection for our office occupiers.

These events are part of The Shard’s ongoing programme, thoughtfully curated to support occupier wellbeing and enrich the everyday workplace experience. 

What do you do when a celebrity guest fears heights? How do you help several couples a night experience a perfect proposal? And what if your chef suddenly needs an ingredient 33 storeys up?

"Act with consistency and curiosity," says Vijay Sanas, General Manager of Hutong, at The Shard.

It’s a philosophy shaped early in his career under Gordon Ramsay, whom Vijay joined in 2011 as a commis chef, an entry-level role in hospitality.

Within just four years, he rose to Restaurant Manager. From there, he went on to lead some of London’s most prominent dining destinations, including Gaucho Piccadilly and Hakkasan Mayfair, and Aqua Shard, a career trajectory that would typically take 15 years.
