    The venue was canceled at the last minute after we onboard. We needed to cross the city to arrive at the pier, and we could avoid it if they were informing us ahead. They did not offer an alternative, even not a cookie to make us a bit less frustrated.

    Lovely boat and crew. Mix up on seating was embarrassing. The food was plentiful and of a high standard.

  • 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!
