One of the things on my list for my trip next year is a dinner cruise on the Thames. I have seen a couple on tripadvisor but wondered if anyone had any recent recommendation?? Thanks so much!!!!

In general, I find dinner on "dinner cruises" to be poor. Take a scenic Thames River Cruise and then go ashore for a good dinner.

I didn't know there were dinner cruises on the Thames. Certainly there are scenic and informative boat rides where you can get something to eat.
As with Paris, or I guess any other city worth seeing from the river, a dinner (or lunch or breakfast) cruise sets up a competition between eating and seeing what's outside. No matter how dextrous and careful you are, you have to be looking at that plate sometimes, and you're not looking at the scenery while you're looking at the plate. And maybe the food is worth the tradeoff, but there are lots of other places besides a boat to get a memorable meal.
