The boat was well presented - tables looked nice and staff were attentive. However when we arrived it wasn't immediately obvious where to go for our boat. We joined a queue at the top of the pier while a member of our party went to enquire. We were sitting in the window so had an excellent view. I think that it wouldn't have been so good if we'd been in the middle. The staff were very attentive and pleasant and the tea was good quality. I was disappointed that there was no selection of tea - choice of Earl grey or green tea for example. There was only one small scone per person which I thought was a bit meagre. There was a much higher proportion of cake to sandwiches. Maybe there could be an element of choice in what the tea consisted of. I felt that having a completely non-refundable price was unfortunate.

I liked the way the windows were fogged up so you couldn't see the landmarks on the tour.

The glorious weather made it perfect! Had a nice afternoon

Few things are as quintessentially English as afternoon tea. When combined with a serene and relaxing 90-minute cruise down the River Thames, this culinary experience leaves very little to be desired! Once you board the cruise at Tower pier in the afternoon, you will get the chance to savour plates filled with scones topped with clotted cream, slices of delectable pastries, and more, all while taking the remarkable view of iconic sights in London.

Of course, no tea party is complete without pots of steaming tea. Sip on unlimited cups of tea and coffee to go with your treats. As you enjoy the delicious spread, keep your eyes peeled for the scenic views that the river and the city have on display. If you’ve got an afternoon to relax and take in London, this cruise is the perfect experience!
