Inspired by the Golden Age of transatlantic travel and designed under the creative direction of visionary Tom Dixon, Sea Containers at Sea Containers London offers a modern yet casual dining experience in an informal setting alongside the River Thames.

The menu celebrates seasonality and ingredient-led cooking, offering a selection of small and large plates designed to be shared. Taking from Mediterranean influence, we use carefully and locally sourced produce to create a menu suitable for any occasion.

Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily and offering a bottomless Bloody Mary or Prosecco brunch on the weekend, a variety of small plates, sharing dishes and classic comfort food is available as well as more formal feasting options.

We had the early tasting menu (very good value book online prior) .. the food was gorgeous and big portions. They swapped out all the meat on the set menu for veggie dishes and it was all super tasty. The service was amazing staff were friendly and attentive particularly a lovely french chap. Atmosphere was vibey and view was great would defo come back.

The service was a little slow at first and we felt as though we were being ignored. This was soon rectified after speaking to the waiter who was really attentive after. The burger was really good along with the Mac and cheese. Cocktails were ok, a little overpriced but overall an ok evening.

It was a great “last supper” before lockdown. The riverside set menu was converted into a tasting menu (quite novel) and having had 3 dishes for each course - we left stuffed! Service was great and likewise the wine. Highly recommended.

The reservations team were excellent. But the whole dining experience was poor. The service appalling. Food not great. Pity as it’s a fantastic fit out and disappointed that the food is not as good as the nice decor. Stick to the cocktails in Lyaness. Dine elsewhere.

Venue was lovely but I was very disappointed with the menu as it was a brunch menu even at 2:30pm! I understand that places are running with restricted menus but on the flip side having not gone out to eat for months I was expecting a lot more.

A bit disappointed with the table we’ve been offered , which was towards the back of the place, looking at the rear end. Surely the reason I’ve booked this restaurant was because of Thames view not the kitchen view . We asked somewhere with a bit more outside view but we’ve been told not possible . However some of these tables out at the front were empty during the whole time we were there . Food was great , service was good.

Always a great bet for brunch/lunch on the terrace. Good service and friendly attentive staff. The overhead heaters made for a cozy ambience even though it was apparently the coldest August Bank Holiday on record. Will return (again) for sure

Great meat dishes, steak and burger were excellent and nicely presented. low ambient noise levels considering it was quite busy, could easily hold a conversation. River view is nice, service could have been snappier but wasn’t bad considering it was valentines night. overall would recommend and price is about right

Great choice for dinner by the Thames. Flatbreads are delicious and so is the ceviche and beetroot. The cote de boeuf was delicious and filling. Will definitely return if they do the special offer again as otherwise think their price points are a little too high for what it is.

Service was great but the food and location wasn’t impressive. Being right next to lyaness I assumed it would have the same amazing views but it wasn’t the case. I’m not sure I’d go back.
