QUINTESSENTIALLY BRITISH

A Thames Afternoon Tea Cruise is the perfect way to spend an afternoon in London.

London is a busy city and can be daunting for even the most experienced traveller.

As we enter the Summer months, the hustle and bustle of our great Capital can also be overwhelming.

 

Our Thames Afternoon Tea Cruises in London provide a refreshing alternative to the traditional River Thames sightseeing trips.

Take a seat on-board a specially designed restaurant boat that is fully air-conditioned for your comfort.

 

Put down those shopping bags and pour yourself a “proper” cup of English tea.

Relax as we sail through the heart of London taking in those Great British sights whilst enjoying a selection of sandwiches, pastries and scones.

Cream then jam, or jam then cream? Join the age-old debate…
