The Thames: gross when you’re close, but kind of epic seen from up high. Especially when ‘high’ is an elevation of 12 floors and you’re knocking back cocktails with some of London’s finest views. Welcome to 12th Knot - a lounge bar and roof terrace at Sea Containers London. It’s sleek, it’s chic, and it never fails to impress.

Whether you’re getting some of that city air on the terrace while sipping Champagne with a date, or soaking up the buzz inside with your crew, this is a winner. As the evening progresses the party vibes only increase. Cocktails are just on the right side of creative and service is slick, but then for these prices you’d expect nothing less. Oh, and BarChick has serious interior envy for the starburst light feature and those epic crushed-aubergine chairs. When you’re not eyeing up the moneyed clientele then it’s all about those views, baby. Panoramic London never looked so pretty.
