Event Details

A delightful trip up the River Thames on the PS Elizabethan, a perfect replica of a 1890s Mississippi Stern-wheeled Paddle Steamer which has been chartered for 5 unique river cruises each lasting an hour. Tickets are on sale in advance, and a number will be held back and sold on the pier one hour before each cruise.

Cruise 1
12.15 – Charlie Dark

London is a melting pot that absorbs culture, remixes it and spits it out.  DJ, poet and writer Charlie Dark presents 'The School of Dark' - an hour of musical delights from underground London, featuring songs from Fiona Bevan, poems from James Massiah and other magical luminaries.

Cruise 2
13.35 – Family Cruises with Rastamouse and da Easy Crew

Cruise 4
16.25 – David Starkey

One of Britain's leading historians, David Starkey, takes you on a journey along his favourite stretch of the River Thames. Listen to his insights and knowledge on the sights and sounds of this famous river. David is an author of many best-selling historical books and his television documentaries have received two BAFTA nominations.

Cruise 5
17.45 – Maxwell Hutchinson

The river Thames is the cord that binds London together, the water that separates cultures of north and south only reveals its true glory looking out from a boat; count the bridges in all their diversity, take a sneaky look at the MP’s private Westminster terrace, feel proud of the new City skyline and thank recent history for the energy of Canary Wharf. Our grand river has it all, if only we loved it a bit more.

All cruises last one hour and embark and disembark from London Bridge City Pier, apart from the 17.45 cruise which disembarks at Butlers Wharf.
