Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

What are people saying about food near London, XGL?

This is a review for food near London, XGL:

"Are you staying near Excel? Do you want a convenience store? You have two options: 1. Whistlestop in the conference center. Be prepared for overpriced food, highly-variable (and unpredictable) hours, and the company of people wearing suits. 2. This place. It's not the best Tesco Express I've seen. They have a rather small selection of ready-to-go meals, and I think they only get one delivery of pastries per day. But they're open early, they're open late, and their prices are good, in spite of being the only food option for the numerous hotels and upscale residential developments that have gone up nearby. Go Tesco!"

Afternoon Tea at Sunborn Yacht Hotel London

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

After reading the reviews, I was in two minds to cancel this afternoon tea. However, when we arrived we could see they were Covid complaint. We got seated outside, the weather was amazing, and such a beautiful yacht hotel. The waiters and waitresses were great!... The afternoon tea was lovely and fresh, the sandwiches, cakes and scones were beautiful! The scones were baked freshly, and tasted divine. The cocktail was lush!! Ordered another one. The only downside was that it was a little busier than normal, so service was a little slow. In conclusion it was great, lovely experience and definitely worth the money!! More

Came here for an afternoon tea on Saturday for a birthday. Easy to book online. The venue itself is lovely and unique, feels very grand walking through the reception. There were only a few tables plus us when we arrived. Service was very slow and... we had to ask for extra plates, apart from bringing the initial menu over, during the few hours we were there, none of the many waiters asked if we needed anything. We had to get their attention to ask for extra drinks and the bill and to then actually pay the bill. So overall not very attentive but we did appreciate being able to sit there for a quite a while after we had finished our food. The food itself was great and plenty of it. More

Lovely spot for afternoon tea on a beautiful day, I was served by Hassan on 14/09. He was lovely, helped and always made sure we got a great service. He was on point and very understanding. He knew exactly how to meet to our dietary... requirements. The afternoon tea I feel could have been better, especially the finger sandwiches were basic. Also the presentation was better in the pictures. When served on the day it was different in presentation. I have tried out many afternoon tea spots and can say the taste of the food wasn’t to the best. However the atmosphere and service was good. More

So disappointed with our visit for afternoon tea. This was a special birthday treat and we were both so looking forward to it. The venue is dull. You could be sitting anywhere other than on a 'luxury yacht'. You couldn't see out of the windows... due to them being dirty! As for the food - the sandwiches consisted of smoked salmon on white bread? Egg & onion brioche buns? The other sandwiches, I couldn't tell you what they contained as the contents were non-descript. The sandwiches had just come out of the fridge so were icy cold. The scones looked appealing but when cut in half the middle was undercooked lump of dough. Tea did not come round - we had to ask for extra plates and ordered two drinks which 12.5% service charge was added to! No one came over and asked if everything was alright or whether we needed anything, the whole time, four members of staff stood chatting looking at the Reception PC. There was one poor waitress running around, serving guests and clearing tables. I have also emailed Sunborn but they do not have the courtesy to reply. More

We visited here for an afternoon tea for a family treat whilst we were staying in London for a mini break. The yacht looked absolutely incredible. The foyer area was breathtaking, a large chandelier surrounded by two spiraling staircases either side. We were ably assisted... from the start of our experience and taken to our table overlooking the dock area of the Thames. We didn't have too long to wait for our afternoon tea. The food itself was more than ample, four finger sandwiches and a mini-brioche roll. Two fruit scones and four other cakes complete on a three tiered china tray. We opted for a champagne cocktail option, which was a great accompaniment to the food that was served. We were also given a variety of options for tea, ranging from the usual English breakfast, darjeeling, Earl Grey etc. Our waiter was always on hand to answer our questions and was very passionate about their job. We left there feeling full and satisfied and knowing that when we return to the capital for a break that we will definitely consider staying at the Sunborn Yacht Hotel. More

Booked as a birthday gift for husband and would not go again! Business hotel full of people going to Excel Centre next door! Breakfast a joke, queues for tables, even at 9.15 as business clients in..great to get away from work for leisure and listen... to business people talking load of bull!! Rooms tired and old fashioned..could not go out on balcony as it was full of water, from rain but no drainage to let it out 🙄..paid extra £20 a night for river view. Breakfast 3 choices given, 1 cereal..no fruit. Shame one floor not kept for business, inc breakfast! Gibraltor Sunborn so amazing compared to this one..modern, more facilities. Staff seemed pushed and rushed! Not a good experience😑. More

Enjoyable experience for my birthday. Typical cream tea fare with sandwiches, scones and cake etc. tasted freshly made. Lovely surroundings with a sense of luxury and fabulous views. The lady who served us ( small anchor tattoo on hand) was lovely and a great credit... to the hotel. All in all a super treat from my other half. Booked via a voucher so didn’t pay full price which would of made it too expensive. More

I booked afternoon tea with a Wowcher as it was my friends birthday and I wanted to do something different, the yacht it’s self was very nice on entering, we was shown to our table and given a complimentary cocktail which was an Aperol spritz... and it was very nice , then the food arrived which was a nice selection of sandwiches, scones and cakes all very nice and fresh and unlimited tea or coffee. They even put a chocolate ‘ happy birthday’ on the cakes. We sat outside on the deck to drink our tea which had a lovely view of the river, the cable cars, O2 and people doing watersports in the distance. The staff were very attentive and polite. Overall a very nice experience and definitely would go again More

Your staff dealt with an unreasonable and rude customer in a gracious and professional manner. She was arrogant and did not deserve the apologies and attention you afforded her. The afternoon tea was exactly as advertised with a good range of sandwiches and desserts, flavours... of tea and desserts. Staff were extremely helpful and allowed us to see the upper deck. You created a relaxed atmosphere and nothing was too much to ask. More

So it was out first time out since the pandemic and it’s been tough few months working in the Nhs. We booked the afternoon tea which was £35 and was a nice way of getting together . Unfortunately when the bill came it was much... more than expected. The waiter did not give us a wine list which in hindsight we should have asked for. The waiter could have advised us the champagne afternoon tea would have been a better option as £48 for a bottle of Prosecco seems a of money to us. Also the waiter served it and it didn’t go round so he said would we like another which we did. Had we known we would never of needed another bottle and really the waiter could have made it go round. After explaining to a very rude unapologetic gentleman that came to the table we realised we were wasting our time. We should have asked for a wine menu and will remember this in the future. We hoped to stay over on the yacht next time but certainly will not after this experience. More

I took my 82 year old mum for afternoon tea on the Sunborn Yacht based near London's Excel Centre. We were fortunate enough to have beautiful weather for November, it was bright and fresh. We were able to choose our own seats and chose one... by the window and were able to see magnificent views of the Thames, sea birds, The O2 and the cable cars. Our every need/wish was catered for by really friendly and helpful staff. We both had different food requirements and it was all respectfully catered for without any fuss. The sandwiches/cakes were amazing and we enjoyed several hours chatting and were not under any pressure to vacate our table by staff. We were even allowed to take the cakes home that we didn't eat in a lovely box! We will definitely be back and would totally recommend. A little pricey, but I got a deal on a voucher website, but worth every penny. If I have to make one criticism, it is that before visiting I asked where was the closest car park, and was just told to park at Excel. I would have benefitted from them telling me to park in the orange zone 1 or 2 to be at the right end for a shorter walk with my elderly mum. Also the journey on foot from car park to hotel was a little awkward, unless I just went the wrong way, so some signage from the car parks would be advantageous. More

Was really looking forward to the afternoon tea but came away feeling underwhelmed. It's a lovely venue and the staff were friendly but they were the only good points. I assumed the food would be freshly made but when it arrived it didn't seem very... fresh. Some of the items weren't as stated on the menu so we were unsure of exactly what they were. Other guests were able to swap and change items from the menu but we weren't told this was possible so just accepted what was given. Although the staff were helpful on arrival they disappeared once the food was served so I had to try to get their attention and call them over several times. I expected the staff to be more attentive. I bought the afternoon tea from Groupon so was just glad I hadn't paid full price. More

What an experience! My sister and I visited Sunborn Yacht for a phenomenal afternoon tea. From entering the reception area, we were greeted by the happy, helpful members of staff who pointed us in the right direction of the afternoon tea area. We were then... waited on by a lovely, young lady (Mica) who made sure we had everything we needed and more. During our visit, the manager (Sarwar) assisted us with our voucher issue ensuring we had a stress free and enjoyable afternoon tea. I believe the photo of our food speaks of itself 😍 I would highly recommend visiting and will definitely be going again. More

We have had many afternoon teas in the past & this one by far is definitely our favourite. Firstly all the staff were very friendly, welcoming & helpful. When asked a member of staff about the yacht they gave us lots of information about it,... was very knowledgeable. Which was amazing obviously not just a job to them they were very passionate about it. The afternoon tea was fantastic, a variety of sandwiches, scones & cakes/desserts. Was asked what type of tea we would like, not just one to choose from. The sandwiches, scones cakes & tea tasted lovely. A decent amount of food & drink for an afternoon tea. The setting was beautiful. Very pleasurable afternoon. The yacht itself is beautiful, we only got to see the restaurant, reception, toilets & deck but these were stunning. Would definitely go again & next time to stay on the yacht too. Truly amazing afternoon & not rushed. More

An uncomfortable experience from beginning to end. My friends and I were made to feel unwanted by the racist manager running the restaurant. He purposefully told servers to not serve us, indirectly blamed us for being seated at a table that we didn’t even select... ourselves, spoke down to us, and in general gave us the impression that he didn’t want us there. He was extremely demeaning and belittling in how he spoke to us and made us feel like we were not allowed to ask any questions. He specifically told servers to prioritise the tables nearby, all of which were seated with white customers, and to not bother with our table at all. He told servers to not provide my pregnant friend with a water refill, claiming that “they’ll just keep asking for more so don’t give it to them”. He made snide remarks when we wanted to confirm that our booking was for the correct number of people, implying that we were being absurd to want to ensure that we’d not be overcharged for an error on their end. This shouldn’t have been a surprise considering that he wrongly assumed we’d pay with a coupon the minute he saw our faces anyway. The cost does not match the experience in the slightest. Please don’t waste your money, there are better places where you can get afternoon tea and you won’t get treated poorly based on your race or religion. The only thing that smelled worse than the lingering sewage stink, was the manager’s attitude. More

Sunborn London

Docklands, London, England, United Kingdom

• Full Review
• A floating super yacht hotel with serious novelty factor
• Moored right opposite Excel conference center
• Minutes' walk from DLR train station
• Easy access to London's City Airport
• Relatively spacious rooms, most with water views
• In-room Lavazza coffeemakers and Sony tablets
• Restaurant and terrace bar with water views
• Far from tourist center
• No fitness facilities

Bottom Line

The 136-room Sunborn London is an upper-mid-range hotel in the form of a 394-foot super yacht moored in London's Royal Victoria Dock. Rooms are pleasant, surprisingly spacious, and most have views over the water, though decor is more cruise liner than luxury yacht. Some rooms have spacious decks and big soaking tubs; all have coffeemakers, minibars, and flat-screen TVs. Eating and drinking options are solid though lack of fitness facilities feels like an oversight. Overall, for maritime enthusiasts with business in the area it's perfect, but tourists wanting to explore the capital's attractions should look elsewhere. Wi-Fi is free throughout.

Oyster Hotel Review

An upper-mid-range floating hotel set on a super yacht .

The Sunborn London is not only the capital's only floating hotel, it's the only one occupying a 394-foot super yacht. Built without an engine, however, it was towed from its native Finland and opened as upper-mid-range water-based lodgings in 2014. From the outside -- with its sleek marine lines -- it looks every inch the luxury vessel. Inside , however, the look and feel is deliberately more traditional, with polished brass railings, teakwood paneling, and the occasional nautical touches across all five of its floors. The resulting vibe is certainly more cruise ship (albeit an attractive one) than billionaire's playground. There's plenty of outside space on deck for enjoying the surrounding docks -- if not the most attractive of views -- accompanied by the sound of planes taking of and landing at the nearby City Airport. A solid pick for the novelty factor and for guests with business at the nearby conference center, this hotel is a bit far from main tourist attractions.

Moored in Royal Victoria Dock to the east of London's Canary Wharf

The hotel is permanently moored in the London ’s Royal Victoria Dock in the Docklands area in the east of the capital. The city's largest conference and events venue -- the Excel Center -- is located right opposite while the DLR (Dockland's Light Railway) station of Custom House is just minutes away on foot. From here it's just about 15 minutes by train to London's business district of Canary Wharf. While it's not ideally located for tourists, public transport links to the city center in around half an hour. City Airport however is right nearby and takes less than 10 minutes by car. 

Relatively spacious rooms with Sony tablets and Lavazza coffeemakers

The hotel's 136 rooms are certainly a lot larger than your average cruise ship cabins, but all follow cruise liner styling with plenty of polished teak, brass trim, and maritime touches. Unlike a cruise ship, all rooms are outward facing and most have large picture windows overlooking the water (some have small furnished balconies too). Amenities include free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs plus sitting areas, and a Sony tablet for web browsing and ordering room service. Lavazza coffeemakers and minibars with free water also come standard. Clean, well-maintained bathrooms provide wall-mounted hairdryers, walk-in showers, and Molton Brown products. The top-end Yacht Executive Suite we saw had its own private sauna and large balcony.

Restaurant and terrace with water views, free Wi-Fi, and a small spa with massage treatments

The hotel's Lands End restaurant provides a pleasant space awash with mirrored glass and teak paneling with large windows overlooking the water. A la carte and set breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus are served with British, Asian, and Mediterranean influences. The adjoining bar provides house cocktails, snacks, and meals as well as an outdoor terrace with views of Canary Wharf and the O2 arena. A small spa also provides a range of massage treatments though there are no fitness facilities on-site. Wi-Fi is free throughout.

Floating Fancy: Sunborn London Yacht Hotel Review

Finding the perfect hotel for a London stay can be tricky, with countless options and locations available. Sunborn London offers something a little more unusual, as it’s not your standard bricks-and-mortar establishment; pick the Sunborn, and you’ll be staying on an extravagant yacht. But while it stands out from the crowd visually, does the rest stand up to scrutiny?

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel, to give it its full title, is located at Royal Victoria Dock, an area of east London that has undergone extensive regeneration and is home to the Excel exhibition centre. Despite its Docklands location, the Sunborn yacht is easy to get to, thanks to the new Elizabeth Line that runs through the city, with stops at Heathrow Airport, Paddington, Bond Street and Liverpool Street, to name just a few, where you can connect to most other London underground lines. Arriving by car isn’t too much of a chore either, and with ExCel next door, ample parking is available just a few minutes walk from the hotel.

Arriving at Sunborn London certainly makes an impression. The vast open space in front of the floating hotel allows you to take in the size as you get closer to the riverfront. There’s a lift at dock level – one of few signs that the yacht was indeed built specifically for this purpose – which takes you directly to the stylishly designed reception level, where you are greeted by friendly staff, ready to check you in for a stay.

While the purpose-built yacht might not have sailed the Mediterranean, it still has all the features of a sea-going vessel, with heavy doors and raised sills. There’s even an impressive cruise ship-esque double staircase in the middle of the reception area, which is finished off with a crystal chandelier, adding a touch of elegance.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel: The Room

We spent the night in a mid-range ‘Yacht Executive’ room with a balcony overlooking the surprisingly blue waters of the docks. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a good-sized desk area should you combine business with pleasure. There were a good number of plug sockets dotted about the room and at each side of the bed – something often overlooked – with a mix of UK and European sockets, which was a nice touch. Everything you would expect was there, including tea and coffee making facilities, a fridge and a safe, should you need them.

The bathroom was a reasonable size, with a spacious enough shower. Confusingly though, rather than having a simple shower control, there was a bath mixer tap with a shower attached. Once the water was turned on, a toggle needed to be pulled to direct the water through the shower head. With no bath in sight, this seemed rather odd.

Unlike the smaller rooms on the lower two levels, our room had floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water, with a double-glazed door leading out onto our little balcony, complete with two chairs. While it was a nice little bit of outside space, it wasn’t well designed in that once seated in the chairs, the view was of the solid steel safety barrier rather than the river. Perhaps some safety glass would be a better bet.

Despite that, it felt like a well-thought-out space, with considerate touches ranging from the surfeit of power sockets to the welcome bottles of water. Between 19 and 23m3, the rooms aren’t huge on paper, but clever use of space and light makes them feel far more generous than they could.

Throughout the cabins and the public areas of the yacht, there are lots of mirrors, reflective surfaces and warm coloured wooden panelling, which adds to the character of Sunborn London, and adds to the sense of space, leaving you in no doubt that you are onboard a vessel.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel: Lands End Restaurant

The onboard restaurant is located at the vessel’s rear, with an outside space providing views towards The O2 and Canary Wharf. Like the rest of the public areas, it is adorned with warm-coloured wood and reflective surfaces, making it feel both welcoming and light and airy.

We began by perusing the wine list and decided on a bottle of prosecco – such glamorous surroundings deserved a few bubbles! The bottle arrived at the table, was opened and poured, only to find that it had been served at room temperature. Our waiter did try to rectify this error, but the second bottle had also not been chilled. A cold bottle was eventually found from the Sundown Bar on the deck below, but two bottles had been wasted by this stage. It’s an amateur mistake to make and set a low bar for the rest of the evening.

Nevertheless, we put this mishap to one side and checked out the food offering. The menu had a good selection of options, with meat and seafood dishes available. However, the choice for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet was very limited.

I selected the mixed marinated olives as my starter, and my dining companion opted for the Gazpacho. Both arrived quite quickly and were tasty and fresh.

The main course was more of an issue, as I suffer from lactose intolerance. My only option was wild mushroom risotto with vegan cheese and grated truffle, with a seasonal house salad on the side. My companion had more choice and opted for the ‘Sunborn’ fish ‘n’ chips, which consisted of beer battered haddock, pea puree and chunky chips.

When the food did arrive at the table, it looked well presented, and while the fish fillet did look relatively small, the risotto was somewhat more substantial.

The wild mushroom risotto was well cooked, the risotto rice was tender, and the dish was well seasoned and tasty. The side salad, however, did leave a little to be desired. There was little or no dressing to add flavour, which was disappointing.

The fish and chips were fine, if unexciting. It’s a dish that’s difficult to get wrong but also difficult to impress with. The kitchen managed to stay in its lane, offering something perfectly acceptable, with fresh chips and tasty mushy peas, although portions were a little meagre.

Dessert was again lacking in options for my needs or those on plant-based diets, with fruit and sorbet being the only, somewhat unimaginative, options. I reluctantly opted for the three flavours of sorbet, while my dining companion opted for the much tastier sounding Bakewell tart with ice cream.

The Bakewell tart arrived without a hitch, but the lack of attention to the order in the kitchen meant that I was served two scoops of sorbet and one scoop of ice cream instead of three of sorbet. Luckily I noticed before I started to eat it, and I immediately notified the manager of the error. My issue is an intolerance rather than an allergy, but had it not been, this could have been a more significant problem.

With few guests in the restaurant the night we dined, there was little excuse for the multiple errors. While a long way from fine dining , the food was perfectly acceptable, but the lack of imagination in the menu and the lack of care in serving the drinks and meal tarnished the experience.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel: Sundown Bar

After dinner, we headed down a deck for a nightcap at the Sundown Bar. As you enter the bar, lights and reflective surfaces surround you from every angle, making it just a little overwhelming against the dusk outside. We decided the sensory overload was a little too much, so we chose a seat on the outside deck with views along the docks to The O2 beyond.

The overall environment and vibe of the place were pleasant and lively, with most patrons spending their time either gazing into each other’s eyes or gazing at the myriad lights of the city twinkling away in the distance. A surprising amount of time can be wasted simply watching the Emirates Air Line cable cars crossing the river, their red lights floating across the skyline in contrast to the blue and white lights of the city.

There is a good selection of drinks available, but they are a little pricey, even allowing for London prices. A Diet Coke and a double Woodford Reserve bourbon came in at £20. The service was swift and friendly, recovering from the faux pas at dinner and rounding off our evening well.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel: Breakfast

Breakfast the following day was on the outside deck of the Lands End restaurant and consisted of a cooked breakfast from the kitchen alongside a self-service buffet. The mix of table service for the hot food and self-service for the rest isn’t that unusual, but it was also self-service for tea and coffee, which, for a luxury hotel , is much less common. Disappointingly, there was hardly any hot water left in the urn to make tea, and what was there was lukewarm at best.

The breakfast was perfectly adequate and served quickly, suggesting that it is precooked in the kitchen and then plated up when ordered. While that’s not a significant problem, it is disappointing to be served fried eggs that have been kept warm a little too long when a fresh egg takes only a minute or two to cook.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel: The Verdict

With countless highly-rated dining options within just a few minutes’ walk from the Sunborn, it’s a surprise and disappointment that the restaurant can’t match the standards that the rest of the hotel sets. With those other options available, though, it’s not something that should put you off, as it’s the hotel that holds the appeal.

"Not your usual hotel: Sunborn London is, in fact, a 420ft yacht moored in the Royal Victoria docks, a symphony in white and charcoal which could easily have been left behind by a departing oligarch. It's well-placed for the O2 arena, London City airport and the ExCel centre."
