A lifestyle Hotel based on London’s eccentric South Bank. With 354 bedrooms, award-winning food and drink outlets and an electric energy, Sea Containers London is a destination where glamour meets brutalism – and it's your London anchor on the River Thames.
We’re excited to announce the opening of Gordon Ramsay at Sea Containers, a new dining destination created in partnership with Gordon Ramsay Restaurants Global, opening this autumn 2026.
Set directly on the River Thames in the heart of London’s South Bank, Gordon Ramsay at Sea Containers will bring together elevated British dining, exceptional hospitality and panoramic river views. Open from breakfast through to dinner, the restaurant will celebrate the very best of British produce, from exceptional seafood and shellfish to Gordon Ramsay classics, alongside an expansive outdoor riverside terrace.
This is a unique opportunity to join the team at an exciting moment and play a key role in bringing this new restaurant to life from the very beginning.
