Why Book a Transfer?

Style on the South Bank

Appreciating Sea Containers London's design and its South Bank setting enriches a stay at this fashionable hotel. Sea Containers occupies a landmark position within a striking mid-century riverside building on the South Bank, and the hotel is celebrated above all for its bold, distinctive design — the work of a renowned designer who drew inspiration from the golden age of transatlantic ocean travel, giving the interiors a glamorous, nautically-tinged, retro-modern character that sets it apart from conventional luxury hotels. From the copper-hulled feature wall to the stylish rooms and the buzzing public spaces, it's a hotel with genuine personality and a strong sense of occasion. Its crowning glory for many is the rooftop bar, which offers spectacular panoramic views across the Thames to the City of London and St Paul's Cathedral, a superb setting for a drink at any time of day. The hotel's restaurants and bars are destinations in their own right, drawing Londoners as well as guests. The location could hardly be better for experiencing the best of the South Bank: the hotel sits directly on the Thames-side walk, with Tate Modern, the world-famous modern art gallery in the former power station, just moments away, along with the Millennium Bridge leading across to St Paul's and the City. Stroll along the riverside and you'll reach Shakespeare's Globe, Borough Market's celebrated food stalls, the Southbank Centre, the National Theatre and the London Eye, while the West End and the City are both close. This vibrant cultural stretch, with its galleries, theatres, markets and river views, is one of London's most enjoyable areas to explore on foot. For arrivals and departures with luggage, a fixed-price transfer provides the comfortable door-to-door link. Understanding Sea Containers' design flair and its prime South Bank position shows why it's such a stylish and well-placed choice for a London stay.
