About this tour

Pair classic British hospitality with views of the capital on a London Thames cruise. Choose a 90-minute afternoon tea sailing or a 2.5-hour dinner cruise, each offering a different way to see the city from the water.

For afternoon tea, settle in with freshly brewed tea, finger sandwiches, and pastries as the boat glides along the Thames. The evening option serves a two-course meal with soft live music and views of London's iconic landmarks. Drinks are available to purchase on board. The cruise departs from Butlers Wharf Pier, a 7-minute walk from London Bridge station; arrive 15 minutes before departure. Dietary requirements, except Kosher, need at least 72 hours' notice. Afternoon tea is not suitable for children under 5, and the dinner cruise is for adults only. The boat has no lift, so wheelchair access may be difficult.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.90 from 49 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.7. Top 19% in London means it ranks in the top 19% of tours in London by this score.
