More of the glitzy same seems to be the recipe for dining and drinking in the Shard. Lawyer-turned restaurateur David Yeo gets the 31st and 33rd floors for his Aqua chain. He's already got a trio of venues on top of the old Dickins and Jones building at the top of Regent Street - Aqua Kyoto, serving Japanese food, Aqua Nueva, offering Spanish food from an El Bulli-trained chef, and Aqua Spirit, for drinking. We are promised at least one new concept for the Shard.

Rainer Becker and Arjun Waney, the pair that bring you Zuma and Roka, will operate the 32nd floor restaurant. If you're bored with the views, they promise late night live music in the bar.

The Shard will have 87 floors - with a public viewing gallery on 72, at close to £25 a visit. The Shangri-La Hotel will operate on 34 through to 52, with a "signature bar", gym and swimming pool on 52.
