What Can I Expect

Set sail from Tower Pier on a Thames lunch cruise! Nothing beats lunch on the Thames for that great combination of sightseeing and a good meal. Even if you know the capital, isn't it time you embarked on a city cruise lunch?

And where better to board a boat on the Thames than Tower pier? You're right next to the famous Traitors' Gate of the even more famous Tower of London and in front of you on the river is the stunning Tower Bridge with its iconic twin turret towers. On these lunch cruises, it's sightseeing from the word go!

Once onboard, make your way to your reserved table. With huge, sloping panoramic windows you're going to get great views of the river wherever you're sitting, but it's worth knowing the tables right under the window slope are only for twos. There's also a fabulous open-air top deck, so you can take a little walk in the fresh air during your cruise too.

Your lunch will be served at your table. It'll be a hearty, seasonal meal, akin to a carvery or pub meal. You'll enjoy a two-course menu of main and dessert. Of course, there's a fully-stocked bar onboard, so you're more than welcome to order a little flute of bubbly to celebrate, or a nice dram of whisky to round off your trip.

Whilst you're tucking into your meal, the skipper will be skilfully guiding the boat along the Thames waterway. With an itinerary that sets off from Tower Pier, heading up to Big Ben and the London Eye, before turning in the direction of Canary Wharf, there is SO much to see.

From landmark buildings to modern funky skyscrapers and loads more besides, you'll be treated to all the greats of London from afloat. And if you're not sure what you're looking at, there will be live or recorded commentary, so you know what everything you see is.

Ideal for a fun day out with family, a meet up with friends or a cracking first date, these Thames lunch cruises are relaxed, with a casual dress code. Book now and get ready to go for a ‘floating lunch' on the Thames!
