Loved our stay at Sea Containers London! The hotel is beautiful, modern, and has such a cool vibe. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were wonderful. The location on the South Bank was one of our favorite things, perfect for walking around, sightseeing, and getting to other parts of London.
