12th Knot Cocktail Bar

Our Rooftop Playground With Iconic Views

Welcome to 12th Knot, our vibrant rooftop bar & terrace at the top of the iconic Sea Containers London. Stylish seating, current tunes, and a curated collection of wine, champagne and cocktails, plus small plates that celebrate seasonal ingredients – all set against an unrivaled backdrop of the River Thames and the City of London.

Eclectic rooftop bar and terrace overlooking London's skyline.

A true reflection of South Bank’s energy, expect bright, striking décor and an open-plan layout that puts London’s breathtaking skyline at centre stage.

Our dress code is smart/casual so sportswear or flip-flops are a no-no. We get quite busy so we recommend booking in advance, but we will accommodate walk-ins where possible.

Reservations may be made instantly online for parties up to 15, for larger group bookings or private events please enquire below.

Please note that we operate an over-18s policy and proof of age may be requested.
