The Main Event

Escape the hustle and bustle of city life and take in London’s landmarks in true London style with a 90-minute, scenic cruise and afternoon tea on the Thames. Because let’s be honest, the only way to sightsee London is with a slice of cake in one hand and a cuppa in the other.

Indulge in a quintessentially British afternoon tea, complete with freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, an array of finger sandwiches, and delicious pastries. Paired with a steaming pot of tea or coffee, it’s the perfect complement to your journey through the heart of the capital.

With panoramic windows you can cosy up in the heated indoor cabin for a relaxed view, or venture out to the open-air deck for 360-degree views of iconic sights, like The Tower of London, The Shard, The Houses of Parliament, Big Ben & The London Eye (perfect for snapping that Insta-worthy photo, as long as you don't mind rocking the windswept look)!

Whether you're planning a classy girls' day out, looking for unique things to do in London for couples, or searching for the perfect gift for mum, an afternoon tea on the Thames offers a stylish and memorable way to experience the city, making any occasion extra special.

  • Absolutely perfect

    The afternoon cruise was excellent, the ship was very luxurious, the tea & cakes were excellent & the scones were amazing. The commentary was very interesting & funny at times, saw amazing landmarks with plenty of photo opportunities. My only complaint, it didn't last all day 😄, would highly recommend & would do it again no problem x

    Was treated to this for my birthday and had a lovely time. The boat trip was great, saw quite a lot from the boat which I wasn't expecting and the food was lovely. It was a great way to spend an afternoon.
