On 1 October, Shangri-La The Shard, London will mark the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness Month as the landmark’s spire illuminates the city skyline in pink.

Perched 35 storeys above London, Shangri-La The Shard, London invites guests to experience the Clouds of Pink Afternoon Tea at TĪNG Restaurant and Lounge. Inspired by thelounge’s iconic setting - where floor-to-ceiling windows give the sensation of dining amongst the clouds - this whimsical tea is a celebration of pink indulgence in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Served on an elegant three-tier stand, the journey begins with a refined selection of savoury finger sandwiches before moving to delicious rose-hued scones, accompanied by cranberry jam and clotted cream. Guests are then invited to indulge in an artful array of hand-crafted pastel pastries, each designed to echo the beauty of the sky at dusk and the spirit of the season:
• Blush Praline – Spiced sponge layered with pear and walnut praline
• Velvet Ribbon – Valrhona OQO Cremoux balanced with cherry compote and vanilla chantilly
• Rose Embrace – Chestnut, cassis and Valrhona Opalys ganache
• The Pink Shard – A striking creation of Valrhona Vanuatu mousse, almond sponge and burnt orange marmalade, dramatically presented over clouds of dry ice, mirroring the view beyond the glass.

Accompanying the tea is a wide selection of Shangri-La’s signature loose-leaf blends, alongside a menu of pink-inspired beverages. Highlights include the elegant Hibiscus Bloom cocktail (Havana Club 3 Year, Cointreau, lime, hibiscus) and the refreshing non-alcoholic Wild Rose Spritz (Tanqueray 0%, rose, lemon, peach, Wild Idol).

Clouds of Pink Afternoon Tea is available until 18 November 2025, priced at £79 per person,
£92 including a flute of Canard-Duchêne Brut Champagne or the signature pink cocktail, and
£82 with a non-alcoholic mocktail.
