House of Gods opened its first London hotel on 21 September in Canary Wharf, offering 79 rooms and a rooftop restaurant called Sacred Garden that the operator describes as Mediterranean-inspired and serving cocktails. The launch adds hospitality capacity in a major commercial district of east London.
New hotel and rooftop dining in Canary Wharf
The property, which opened on 21 September, marks House of Gods’ London debut. The development includes 79 guest rooms and the rooftop venue Sacred Garden, which the operator describes as a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant with cocktails and a capacity for approximately 300 covers. The rooftop is presented as a destination for both hotel guests and external visitors, intended to operate during evenings and peak leisure periods.
House of Gods is the named operator of the hotel and the rooftop restaurant. The opening brings a hotel offering and a sizeable dining space to Canary Wharf, a district commonly associated with offices and financial services. The venue is expected to add to the area’s leisure and hospitality provision, particularly for after-work and weekend dining.
Accommodation and food-and-drink offer
The hotel comprises 79 rooms. The rooftop restaurant, Sacred Garden, is presented by the operator as Mediterranean-inspired and includes cocktail service. The rooftop is described as a principal public-facing element of the development, capable of seating about 300 diners and designed to provide both covered and open-air dining areas on the roof level.
The scale of the rooftop restaurant means the venue adds a significant number of covers to the local hospitality market. The restaurant sits on the roof level of the hotel building and is intended to serve diners from the local area as well as staying guests. Marketing material highlights the restaurant’s cocktail offer alongside Mediterranean-influenced dishes, but does not provide detailed menus or pricing in the available information.
Location and local relevance
The new venue is located in Canary Wharf, London. The development introduces a combined hotel and large-capacity rooftop restaurant into a busy commercial area where lunchtime and after-work dining are part of everyday footfall. The opening is a commercial development affecting short-stay accommodation and leisure options rather than a matter of public policy or planning enforcement.
By adding a 79-room hotel and a large rooftop dining space, House of Gods’ arrival in London increases the borough’s supply of visitor accommodation and dining capacity. The operator positions Sacred Garden as a rooftop dining option featuring Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and cocktails and capable of hosting large numbers of diners, which the available information quantifies as approximately 300 covers.
Operator and naming
House of Gods is the operator named in the launch materials. Sacred Garden is the name given to the rooftop restaurant. Justine Conway is listed among the named people associated with the development in the available information; that material does not specify a title or formal role for that person in relation to the hotel or restaurant.
What is confirmed and what is not
- Confirmed: The hotel opened on 21 September in Canary Wharf, London, and has 79 rooms.
- Confirmed: The rooftop restaurant is called Sacred Garden, is described by the operator as Mediterranean-inspired and serves cocktails, and is reported to have a capacity of around 300 covers.

Next confirmed step and limited public significance
The hotel opened on 21 September and the venue is operational and available to guests and diners subject to standard booking and service arrangements. The opening primarily represents a commercial addition to Canary Wharf’s hospitality offer rather than a wider public-policy development.
For local consumers and the hospitality sector, the arrival of a 79-room hotel with a 300-cover rooftop restaurant is likely to alter short-stay accommodation and dining capacity in the immediate area. Outside of that commercial impact, there are no further confirmed actions or broader public consequences set out in the available information. Sensitivity: low. Sensitivity notes: Commercial opening claims confined to operator and trade reporting.
