Champagne Sparkle at the Gherkin

During the festive season you will be able to visit the top of the Gherkin as it will be decked out as a luxurious winter wonderland with snow, glitter and diamonds.

The 39th and 40th floors, usually only open to members, will open to the public for a series of lunches, dinners and Champagne afternoon teas throughout December.

The Champagne afternoon teas will include  finger sandwiches, cakes, pastries, macaroons and mince pies as well as a glass of Champagne.

While most people will receive a fake diamond in their Champagne flute, one lucky diner at each sitting will receive a real one to take home with them.
