Exploring River Thames Dinner Cruise Options

I've used City Cruises a couple times. Most recently, my husband and I did the lunch cruise last December. It was worth paying a little extra for a window seat. The views were better than the food. Overall, it was a good experience.

Laurie C,

Thank you for sharing your experience. No doubt having a window seat would be worth the added expense!

I know dinner cruises are something done in other European cities, but not so much in London. I don't know anyone who has done one. Think your options will be limited.

It can be good to incorporate using the Thames to get to one of the sites - eg if going to Greenwich. You do get a different perspective from the river.

Howdy!
Recommend avoiding a “food themed” cruise on the Thames as a completely different vibe compared Paris. Absolutely recommend taking advantage of a river taxi, there is even an uber boat, so you can travel in the same transport as others have done for centuries. Give thought of being destined for the Tower of London using the water gate? Or how bad the odor would be from all the sewers dumping into the Thames? Or being on a fire boat seeking to extinguishing flames from being bombed during WWII? Be a bit flexible and seek a fair weather day with some sunshine (we are talking late October😁), pick your vessel and head to Greenwich during late afternoon. In Greenwich take a walk, find a bite to eat and then head back as dusk falls upon the city. You will gather two different perspectives from the river views. Brave the open air deck and gain additional views, just bring a sweater for a bit cooler on the water. Enjoy creating great memories!

That's sounds like an idea worth exploring further. We've been contemplating a similar plan based on information shared above. Greenwich / Royal Observatory are on our list. Might make for a fun full day: daytime and night time cruises plus a visit to the Royal Observatory.
