Lovely experience in London, highly recommend! We took the lunch cruise for 6 : the food was very good, the view is amazing and the guide was really nice and easy to understand. The best part is the service, the staff was absolutely adorable, my only regret is not having cash on me to give them a tip :(

My time with my daughter was amazing! We came to celebrate her 14th Years Old Birthday! The waitresses and service was high class..And we have table right on the middle of the restaurant by the window. The view was also fantastic. The team was very friendly and we had a lovely experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Unforgettable Experience! We had the absolute pleasure of enjoying the River Cruise with a delicious two-course meal yesterday, and I must say—it was nothing short of amazing! The food was perfectly cooked, the service was so professional yet friendly, and the views of London from the river were simply breathtaking. What made it even more special was having family visiting from Mauritius—they were completely blown away by the entire experience. It gave us all a sense of peace, joy, and gratitude. Sharing such a beautiful moment together on the water reminded us how blessed we are. Thank you to the team for creating such a memorable day. A powerful reminder that life is about moments like these. Highly recommended!

Lunch on the Thames? Heck yes! Feast on a 2-course meal, sip tea or coffee and catch jaw-dropping views of London’s best landmarks from the deck.

Treat yourself to a tasty lunch at 11:45am, with roast chicken, baked mushrooms, tea, coffee and truffle cake. A perfect way for early risers to kick off their day!

As lunch is served, audio commentary fills in the history behind each riverside sight, helping you appreciate what you are seeing, not just pass by.

Catch the sun’s glow over landmarks like Tower Bridge and the Shard, perfect for your photos while indulging in a delicious lunch on the Thames.
