The Olympics, the Lights & Ten Miles of Liquid History

  Join us for an entertaining and unusual tour for Christmas. See the finished London Olympic Park at Stratford during daylight, enjoy a guided coach tour of the London Christmas Lights & Sights as the sun goes down and sit back and relax for our unique ten mile Thames Cruise after dark with a traditional Cockney Skipper’s Commentary.  

The Olympics, the Lights & Ten Miles of Liquid History 

From Waterloo Pier to the old Millennium Dome - Ten Miles of Liquid History 


Arrive in Stratford for lunch (and shopping!) at the new Westfield Stratford City shopping centre ready to begin the coach tour at 2-00pm. See the highlights of Olympic London during daylight, enjoy a guided coach tour of the London Christmas Lights & Sights as the sun goes down and sit back and relax for our unique ten-mile Thames cruise after dark with a traditional Cockney Skipper's commentary.

Your tour will include a stop at the magical Somerset House Ice Rink before boarding our private Thames River Cruiser beneath the London Eye at 5-30pm for a ten-mile after-dark Thames Cruise all the way from the Palace of Westminster to the old Millenium Dome, now called the O2. You will sail beneath a floodlit Tower Bridge on a warm and comfortably appointed boat with a fully licensed bar serving everything from cups of tea to seasonal treats like Whisky Macs and the ever popular hot chocolate with Baileys. You'll need to bring something to eat during the cruise. We are quite happy for you to bring a picnic on our Christmas boat, but please do not bring hot or cold drinks. These can be bought at reasonable prices from the bar.

You’ll be back on the coach heading home from the old Millennium Dome at 7-15pm. 

This tour is available Sundays to Thursdays from 18 November until 6 December 2012. 

Price: £17.95
