Description
This is the most perfect way to enjoy the River Thames. Starting your adventure near at the Tower Bridge Experience, you will then embark on one of London’s most famous wooden sailing barges, The Sailing Will Badge, crafted in 1924. Heading down-river you will capture the magnificent views of St Katherine Dock, Butlers Wharf, the O2 Arena, Royal Naval College, Cutty Sark and towards the Thames Barrier. Aboard you can sip tea & coffee whilst enjoying lunch and the ambience of the great river with your party and indulge in the knowledge of your Imagine Guide who will bring the River to life with live guides stories.
Right on departure from Tower Pier, you will experience the incredible thrill of having Tower Bridge’s 1,000-ton bascules lifted especially for you!
The experience continues to delight you as you disembark ‘Will’ and we whisk you up from the water’s edge and up 1016 feet to the very top of London’s skyline to The View From The Shard, in Western Europe’s tallest building. Whilst here we ensure your party get more than the view, with some unique insights into the story behind the making of this ground-breaking building, including a view of London’s skyline as it was 100 years ago, and a glimpse of what it will look like in 50 years from now.
About the vessel & the journey
A very special London charter boat experience: Opening Tower Bridge on your charter
There are not many private hire boats in London that can create this very special experience.
On approaching the iconic London landmark, guests on deck will first hear the distant warning sirens as the road barriers descend and the crossing traffic is brought to a standstill. Then slowly but surely, as you gently cruise closer, you will see the huge bascules of the bridge start to rising and separate. Everybody in the vicinity will stop and stare at this rare sight as you, “Will” take centre stage. With perfect timing, the bridge’s bascules are raised high as you cruise majestically through, entering (When departing Tower Pier) the ‘Pool of London’, the historic area of the Thames between Tower and London Bridge. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, once enjoyed, never forgotten.
