Sea Containers House

Sea Containers House was conceived originally as a luxury hotel before being turned into offices. The building houses the British headquarters of Sea Containers Ltd, a Bermuda based company with regional offices in London, Rio de Janeiro and Sydney. Sea Containers Ltd operates two main business areas: transport and container leasing. Sea Containers entered into the US Chapter 11 bankruptcy procedure on October 16, 2006.

The building faces the River Thames and has become a mayor attraction for tourists. These photographs explore the 'back door' of Sea Containers House and its urban surroundings.
