A picturesque gem in the west of the capital, this area is loved by many. Putney Bridge crosses the River Thames to Fulham and this part of the river has gained worldwide fame as the starting point of the historic annual Oxford and Cambridge University boat race.
Battersea Power Station Pier opened in 2017 and is located at the foot of the iconic Battersea Power Station. It forms a key part of the regeneration of the entire local area, which includes housing, offices and retail spaces, and puts another historic and picturesque area of London on the map for those cruising on the Thames.
Better known as the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, this is the oldest royal palace in London, a world heritage site and one of most recognised buildings in the world. Seeing - and hearing! - this unmissable sight from the river with a glass of bubbly in hand is the perfect way to enjoy it.
The London Eye is centrally located in the heart of the capital, gracefully rotating over the River Thames opposite the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Opened in March 2000, the wheel is a metaphor for the turning of the century and is now one of the iconic sights of London.
30 St Mary Axe is a tall round office building in London known affectionately as The Gherkin, which opened in 2004. A distinct landmark in the rapidly changing London skyline, the building stands at 180m tall - an unmissable sight over the historic Tower of London as you cruise through the capital.
Arguably one of the most famous and instantly recognisable structures in the entire world. When not cruising on the river, the TLC fleet is moored alongside Tower Bridge at our Butler's Wharf Pier. The Dixie Queen is the only vessel in our fleet which requires Tower Bridge to lift to let her pass, as pictured.
A beautiful and modern part of London, Canary Wharf sits on the West India Docks on the Isle of Dogs. Formerly one of the busiest docks in the world, the area is now a major business district and includes the iconic One Canada Square tower, a symbol of the regeneration of Docklands. It is impossible to miss this unmistakable skyline as you cruise round the riverbend.
Originally built in 1869 to carry tea back from China, the Cutty Sark visited nearly every major port in the world and gained fame for her record-breaking passages. Now in permanent dry dock on the edge of the river, she is the magnificent centrepiece of Greenwich Town Centre. With this and other local attractions, it's little wonder Greenwich Pier is so popular with TLC charterers.
The O2 is the world's most popular music and entertainment venue, located on the Greenwich Peninsula. Formerly the Millennium Dome, its iconic shape has captured the public's imagination, and all of TLC's fleet are able to cruise past the area as part of your luxury charter.
One of the largest moveable flood barriers in the world, the vital Thames Barrier protects central London from flooding. If you'd like to see these up close as part of your charter route, the entire TLC fleet is able to sail through it.
Carving its way through the very heart of our great capital city, the Thames is London's most famous asset.
There is simply no better way to view London's beautiful sights than from your own private vessel. Picture gliding past some of London's most famous landmarks illuminated in all their glory, glass of champagne in hand, while surrounded by your friends and family.
We want to share our love of the iconic River Thames with as many people as possible. With this in mind, below you will see the six simple steps to creating a special occasion in the heart of London with Thames Luxury Charters.
Arranging any event with TLC is a straightforward and worry-free experience from the moment you enquire.
A dedicated event coordinator will take some details from you and put together an entirely bespoke charter proposal. For the best planning service, share your aspirations and budget from the very beginning, which will allow your coordinator to recommend the most appropriate solutions to meet and exceed your requirements on board.
Ensuring you visit our luxury fleet or chosen vessel will help you gain a real feel for the venue and how your event will look when it all comes together. Discussing your aspirations with your event coordinator face-to-face will also be helpful in planning details you'd like on board, such as food, drink, decorations and entertainment.
This is the best way to avoid disappointment with your chosen dates and can be done at any stage in the enquiry process. We can keep the date held for you for seven days, which gives you time to consider and finalise your options before committing.
In order to confirm your charter we require a completed booking form and a 50% deposit of the boat hire. Once your event coordinator has your completed booking form, we will raise an invoice based on your requirements and provide instructions on how to make payment. This secures your booking.
Our wide range of bespoke services means every charter is unique, including yours. To help produce a menu that's perfect for everyone on board, food and wine tastings are available. Along with hospitality, every event is lit up with beautiful finishing touches to make it more personal and original than you ever imagined. Your dedicated coordinator will be with you throughout the entire planning process, ensuring your one-of-a-kind event is easy, stress-free and fun to organise.
Once all details are finalised and confirmed, it's time to sit back and relax until your event. On the day, you will be warmly welcomed aboard by a professional, uniformed and friendly crew for an occasion you'll never forget.
