We had dinner in the main hotel restaurant and it was honestly the best steak and service we have had in London. Would recommend it to everyone.
United KingdomQuality top to bottom. We were fortunate to book a riverside balcony suite and we were really delighted with it. I’ve lived in London my whole life - love this city and to see and experience it this way was just wonderful. South bank was buzzing every evening - weather was mostly excellent - river views from the restaurant and room and loads of people watching. The staff at the hotel couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful and they really deserve credit even with the shortcomings caused by covid precautions.
United Kingdomstaff was really friendly. the location was ideal and the price was very fair
United KingdomGood location, parking, good customer service, the decor, the room, the facilities, the bathroom, the view from the balcony.
United KingdomStayed in the River view balcony suite for my partners birthday. We live in London and we wanted something special to celebrate his birthday during lockdown. It was a great decision! The hotel is fantastically located and the suite was amazing! The view over the river thames was spectacular, particularly in the evening. It was lovely to have the wall-to-wall glass doors and the balcony. Massive bathroom and great shower. Room service was prompt and food was great (quite expensive - but normal for central london). I told the hotel in advance about my partners birthday and they left a bottle of prosecco in the room which was a lovely touch which we really appreciated. Thank you to the staff for working so hard to keep customers happy during the pandemic. Would happily stay again. Dr Butler

United KingdomWe had a 'river view deluxe' room, which was excellent - comfortable and spacious, with a nice view of the river.

One of our top picks in London. Located on the banks of the River Thames, Sea Containers London is in the famed Sea Containers House, just a 7-minute walk from the Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe Theater. The hotel is also 15 minutes' walk from the London Eye, Borough Market, The London Dungeon and SEA LIFE London Aquarium.
Sea Containers London features a riverside restaurant with outdoor seating, a cocktail bar, an agua spa, a rooftop bar and a terrace with panoramic views over London. Free WiFi is available for all guests.
Decorated by award-winning designer Tom Dixon, each room features bespoke furniture, a flat-screen HD TV, air conditioning, dimmable lights and a mini-bar. The marble bathrooms are complete with either rainfall shower or bath. Extras include a media panel, Malin+Getz toiletries and satellite channels.
Many of the rooms feature river views, directly facing the Thames. Some also have a balcony. The on-site Curzon screens a range of new releases, classic matinées and family favorites in a bespoke 56-seat cinema from Friday evenings through Sunday.
Waterloo Train Station is a 12-minute journey on foot and London Blackfriars Train Station is 8 minutes' walk away.
This is our guests' favorite part of London, according to independent reviews.
