Sunborn London Yacht Hotel makes a strong case for leaving central London at dinner. Lands End Restaurant sits aboard a superyacht on Royal Victoria Dock, with Canary Wharf across the water and a room that suits the skyline best after dark.
The restaurant has more to offer than the window seat. Sunborn’s kitchen works with fish from across the Isles and rare-breed outdoor-reared meat hung for a minimum of four weeks, so the view does not become the whole point. Order the lobster tagliatelle if the evening calls for something generous and coastal, or the fillet of beef for a sharper, more formal dinner. For dates, birthdays and client evenings, it gives Docklands a table with a clear reason to book.
