What you can expect

Whether you’re catching up with friends and family, celebrating a special day or just treating yourself, what better way to do so than sitting back, relaxing and tucking into traditional afternoon tea with a unique twist. Aboard your afternoon tea cruise, not only will you be served a mouth-watering selection of sandwiches, pastries and scones, but you can also gaze out of the panoramic windows to catch a different view of London from the river.

Depart from Tower and meander westwards towards the heart of the city, past unmissable sights of the London skyline, including the Shard – Western Europe’s tallest building – the London Eye, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. The afternoon tea itself is a delightful spread consisting of mini sandwiches with traditional English fillings, dainty finger pastries and scones with lashing of clotted cream and jam, all washed town with unlimited tea and coffee.

Once finished, wind up your quintessential experience perfectly by heading up to the open-air deck for more views and to capture the perfect photos.

The boat ride was excellent, we got to see many of London’s famous landmarks from the Thames. The tea was great, but really fast and hurried a bit. They did not give us a timetable for activities and when we asked for more tea they said the tea service was closed. However, the staff member felt sorry of us and filled our pots again. If you are taking this cruise, finish your tea early to get the best view of things.

Not worth the money. Tour tried to end 30 minutes before 5pm advertised end. Spent those last 30 minutes just looking at apartments from the water. Service team was pleasant.
