London, England
Here are my favorite things to do in London …

It is centrally located between Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, China Town and Trafalgar Square. It is the perfect location to launch your days and nights of adventure.
Grab a drink at the Ritz Hotel Bar, The Rivoli Bar
Catch an exhibit at the Royal Academy of Arts
Located in the heart of London, the RA is a place where art is made, exhibited and debated. We loved seeing Entangled Pasts, 1768–now: Art, Colonialism and Change
Take A Cocktail Class at The Lucky Pig Cocktail Bar
The Cocktail Masterclasses (sober options also available) will get you straight into the spirit of things and includes: A comprehensive history of your chosen cocktails and their origins from an experienced Mixologist, who will demonstrate the perfect techniques for making the drinks. Giving it a go yourself - with the Mixologist's guidance, choose three cocktails and try your hand at shaking up something delicious.
Grab a late dinner in London’s Chinatown at Young Cheng Buffet

From the Crown Jewels to the infamous Tower ravens, experience history where it happened at iconic Tower of London, a UNESCO World Heritage Site

“A Lifestyle Riverside Hotel in London and a remarkable South Bank hotel (indeed!). With a design reminiscent of a 1920s transatlantic cruise liner, award-winning food and drink outlets and an electric energy, Sea Containers London is the remarkable South Bank hotel. It’s a destination where glamour meets brutalism – and it's your London anchor on the River Thames.”
The accommodations are “A space to unwind, recharge and regroup, our guest rooms are the ideal South Bank base from which to explore London. Whether you opt for a standard room, or book into a river view suite, you’re guaranteed a memorable evening.”
And dining options will be for sure a must for our visit! Inspired by the golden age of transatlantic travel and the bounty of local fresh produce, our three distinct venues offer dynamic experiences. Enjoy panoramic views at 12TH KNOT, share plates at SEA CONTAINERS RESTAURANT or drink award-winning cocktails at LYANESS.”
And SWOON, they had me at their Sustainability Commitment … “We are currently working to establish Sea Containers London as a fully sustainable hotel. Our strategy is underpinned by the FuturePlus framework, a comprehensive ESG measurement and management platform that assesses sustainability across five themes: Climate, Environment, Economic, Diversity and Inclusion and Social.
As a community-centric property, we have committed to being a socially conscious business, and have been working with FuturePlus since January 2023, to understand, measure, manage, improve and report on our sustainability impact and goals. This is vitally important for us as we want to hold ourselves to the ambitious sustainability goals, we have set for Sea Containers London, in a rigorous and unambiguous manner. These results are demonstrated in a quarterly impact report that highlights our achieved goals and our ambition roadmap.”
