Thames River dinner cruise | "Greasing the Thames with gold"

The River Thames, a ribbon of history snaking through the heart of London, has long been a source of inspiration for poets and artists. While Alfred Noyes, in his poem On the Embankment, captured the stark contrast between the merriment within warm interiors and the harsh realities on the cold streets, his words also held a truth about the Thames itself:

“Within, it was color and laughter, warmth and wine. Without, it was darkness, hunger, and bitter cold…”

Noyes might have highlighted societal disparity, but the magic he hinted at within – the warmth, the laughter, the vibrant life –  perfectly embodies the experience of a Thames River evening cruise. As the city lights shimmer on the water and the gentle current carries you along, you’ll encounter the evening of a lifetime, coupled with canapes and live music.

Know your pier

How to get there?

Boarding point: The Tower Pier (EC3N 4DT)

Address: Lower Thames St, London EC3N 4DT, UK | Find on Maps

Getting there:

  • By bus: If you're taking the bus, hop off at the Tower of London (Stop TB). It's just a quick 2-minute walk to the boarding point. Look for buses 15 & N15.
  • By metro: For subway travelers, head to Tower Hill station. It's only a 4-minute walk to the boarding point. Catch the Circle or District line to get here.

Thames River dinner cruise | Route map

Use this map to understand the attractions you'll see and find the most convenient pier for your trip.

Which seat is best for you?

Most cruise boats have both indoor and outdoor seating with two-by-two seats.

For the best selfie spots, pick an outdoor seat for uninterrupted views and perfect photo sessions if you don't mind the somewhat harsh weather. However, it's a good idea to wear clothes that dry quickly if you fear you might get wet.

If you are picking an indoor seat, choose a window seat, especially if you're traveling solo, for a great view. Indoor seats are also great if you think it may rain but want to go on a cruise. These indoor spaces are also heated and most cruise boats are equipped with other amenities too.

What to wear on a Thames River dinner cruise?

thames river dinner cruise
  • The dress code on most Thames river cruises is smart casual attire. However, feel free to dress more formally for any special occasion.
  • Choose comfortable attire that allows freedom of movement. 
  • It's also advisable to dress in layers as London's weather can be quite unpredictable. This way you can add on more layers if the weather gets chilly.
  • Don't forget hats and sunscreen if you opt for a cruise during the day, especially in the summer.
  • Carry a small bag for your sunscreen, water bottle, and camera.

A very special and beautiful experience. The tickets were very easy and accessible. We didn’t have to wait long. At the scheduled time we went in, and in less than 10 minutes we were already up on the London Eye. Incredible.” 🎡✨

Great time! Beautiful views. The line moved quickly and the pods were not very full. We enjoyed it. The narration helped too.

I was truly surprised by the London Eye experience—a magnificent, breathtaking view in complete safety. And what can I say about the Sky Garden? It’s an absolute must-see with a splendid view; the combination of the garden and the height feels almost unreal. Thank you for these wonderful moments.

It's really nice to get a day pass; it lets you see the city well, and it's better than taking the subway. London at night is truly beautiful.
