London - Tower Pier

The Experience

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.

  • Lovely cruise seeing London’s many landmarks. Friendly staff, delicious food

    Terence 27 Feb 2026
  • From the very minute we arrived on the dock, we were welcomed onboard with a smile. Absolutely beautiful boat with extremely large windows for everyone to enjoy the glorious views.
    The table service was admittedly a little slow but when prompted for tea/coffee we immediately upgraded to the Champagne for £18 for 2 glasses (not bad value). The Afternoon Tea was of good quality with equal amounts of Sandwiches, Scones & Cakes.
    The stunning scenery along the River Thames is breath taking and there is some commentary on what all of the areas/buildings actually are, which was quite inciteful.
    I thoroughly would recommend to anyone new to London/UK.
    A truly awesome experience!
