London is not shy of skyscrapers and rooftops and when it comes to admiring views across the city, there are plenty to see from iconic buildings like The Shard, The Gherkin and 110 Bishopsgate. But for those in the know, the captivating views from the award-winning restaurant and bar, Bōkan, (meaning lighthouse) are unrivalled – trace the river Thames into East London and spot all these landmarks and more.

Located in the heart of London’s financial district, Bōkan is set over the 37th, 38th and 39th floors at the very top of the Novotel London, Canary Wharf. There’s a restaurant, bar and the 39th floor rooftop terrace, all with spectacular 360° views and on-point industrial chic interiors. Artisanal food and drink at the award-winning AA Rosette restaurant are made using a mixture of local, ancient and adopted British ingredients. Their menu is inspired by rich, European cultural cuisines that have flowed along the Thames since ancient times. Take your taste buds on a journey of European discovery.

Start your fine dining experience with a cocktail or two on the 38th floor where the main bar is situated. Anchored in the docklands, the bar at Bōkan 38 champions locally distilled spirits and imaginative cocktails alongside a selection of craft beers and an extensive wine list. The inventive cocktail menu, created by Head Bartender, Generoso D’Avino and his talented team of top London mixologists pays homage to the rich history of Canary Wharf, with tipples inspired by the West India Docks, East India Docks and Royal Docks, alongside unique sharing vessels inspired by the Blackwell Levels. All cocktails are made using carefully sourced ingredients from countries that set sail to the Docks to trade in the 1800s.
