At GO Virtual Tours, we specialise in capturing some of the UK’s most iconic venues using the latest Matterport Pro3 camera technology, and we were delighted to recently complete a high-resolution 3D virtual tour of Aqua Shard in London.

Located on the 31st floor of The Shard, Aqua Shard is one of London’s most spectacular dining destinations, offering panoramic views across the capital alongside contemporary British cuisine. Capturing a venue of this scale and prestige required the precision and accuracy that only the Matterport Pro3 LiDAR scanning system can deliver.

Capturing One of London’s Most Iconic Restaurants

Using the Matterport Pro3 camera, our team scanned the restaurant’s interior spaces to create a fully immersive digital twin of the venue. The Pro3 system uses advanced LiDAR technology, allowing us to capture spaces quickly while maintaining exceptional detail and spatial accuracy.

The finished tour allows visitors to explore Aqua Shard remotely, moving naturally through the restaurant and experiencing the layout, atmosphere, and design as if they were there in person.

This type of immersive experience is increasingly valuable for restaurants, event spaces, and hospitality venues looking to showcase their environment to potential guests, corporate clients, and event organisers.

Why Virtual Tours Matter for Hospitality Venues

Virtual tours have become a powerful marketing tool for the hospitality sector. A high-quality 3D tour allows venues to showcase their space in a way that traditional photography simply cannot match.

Benefits include:

• Allowing potential guests to explore the venue before visiting
• Helping event organisers visualise private dining or event spaces
• Increasing engagement on websites and social media
• Providing a premium, interactive experience for potential customers
• Supporting venue marketing and online visibility

For iconic venues like Aqua Shard, a virtual tour enables the venue’s stunning design and breathtaking views to be experienced by audiences worldwide.
