The View from The Shard has partnered with the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew’s Grow Wild initiative, to launch a nationwide campaign to encourage the growing of wildflowers. A viewing platform on the 72nd floor of The Shard plays host to the nation’s highest English garden. The space features thousands of blooms in celebration of The Year of the English Garden, with visitors also able to purchase cocktails from a green-fingered inspired menu.

Hendrick's has once again teamed up with Mr Fogg's to take over the Mayfair venue's outdoor area with a botanical garden. Guests can expect a new menu comprising a range of Hendrick’s based cocktails, such as the Flavours of Juniper creation and Rhubarbians on the Ra-tan. The brand has also created a selection of sharing cocktails, which are served in teapots.
