About this Event
A very special rooftop gathering during London Climate Action Week on the first day of summer, celebrating the power of hospitality to drive real change. Fascinating conversations, incredible speakers, fantastic people, drinks with a conscience.
What if the most powerful force in the climate conversation was also the most enjoyable one?
On 21 June 2026 — the summer solstice — we're bringing together the people shaping a new kind of hospitality on the rooftop of Sea Containers London for an afternoon and evening of honest conversation, connection, and inspiration.
Nature in the City is a special London Climate Action Week event hosted by LORE Group (@loregrouphotels) with partners The Datai Pledge (@thedataipledge), The Long Run (@thelongrunorg), Country & Town House (@countryandtownhouse), and Bouteco (@boutecohotels). It's a river-view space to hear big ideas from the people turning them into reality — and to feel genuinely hopeful about what hospitality can do for the planet.
Speakers include superstars such as Geetie Singh-Watson of The Bull Inn Totnes (@bullinn_totnes) and Kevin Lacks Kelly, Head of UK National Wildlife Crime Unit & chair of Interpol WCWG, with more names to share.
Host for the day is sustainability journalist and broadcaster Juliet Kinsman (@julietkinsman), who'll be guiding the conversation and making sure it's as empowering as it is entertaining.

🍃 NEMI tea (@nemiteas) on us, all day. NEMI is an award-winning social enterprise employing refugees to produce extraordinary loose-leaf teas. Iced NEMI through the afternoon, hot NEMI as the evening comes in.
Tickets are £20, with every penny going directly to Farms for City Children (@farmsforcitychildren). This is a donation, not a venue fee — you're contributing directly to their incredible work connecting city children with nature.
Capacity is 350. When we're full, we're full.
A couple of things to know: doors open at 2pm and talks begin at 3pm promptly. The 12th Knot has a beautiful terrace — it's June, so dress for a celebration of summer. Your ticket is your donation to Farms for City Children — no refunds, but you're welcome to transfer it to a friend.
