Sea Containers House

Sea Containers House

Sea Containers House is a prominent building on the south bank of the River Thames in London.

Location

Sea Containers House is located towards the eastern end of London's South Bank cultural area, and is within the London Borough of Southwark. A continuous river-side walkway, actually part of the Thames Path, passes in front of and below the building, and links it with near river-side attractions such as the Festival Hall, the National Theatre, the Tate Modern, the Oxo Tower and the Globe Theatre.

History

Sea Containers House was originally conceived as a luxury hotel. Its location, in the heart of London’s business district, led to the decision to complete it instead as office space.
