The Shard is expecting a record number of 50 proposals this Valentine’s day, with a new, giant love heart illuminating its spire for the special day, writes Melina Block…
The illumination will light up the spire of the award-winning venue for the first time ever on Valentine Day, from 5pm.
Last year, there was the equivalent of one proposal every six hours at the Shard. In total 1,566 proposals have taken place at The Shard since it open in 2013.
One of the most popular places to pop the question, the venue expects an increase this year to get them over 2,000 proposals.
There is even a dedicated team to help with the special moment; the world’s first luxury proposal company, Shangri-La, who were featured on E4’s Will You Marry Me?
Over 5,000 couples have used one of Shangri La’s host of packages.
Various other Valentine’s Day packages are available across The Shard’s restaurants and bars, including: Hutong, Aqua Shard, Oblix, Shangri-La Hotel and The View From The Shard.
