A Room for London is a temporary structure located (as of March 2015) on the roof of the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London's South Bank. The structure, designed by architect David Kohn is described as "a one-bedroom installation" and is shaped to appear like a boat perched on top of a building.

The structure has been in place since 2012 and has acted as a "single-room, boat-shaped hotel", available to be booked for single-night residencies.
