4. The Connoisseur – Driven by a desire to taste new flavours and experiences. Guests dine under the stars to get a flavour of the finest food and drink, and discover delicious dining options in the air and on the ground.

Janelle Anderson, Vice President of Global Marketing said: “We are delighted to launch our fully immersive and interactive Altitude Academy in the heart of London’s Canary Wharf.
