3. The Mayor’s Thames Festival

   Dates: 12 & 13th September. “Londons biggest end-of-summer party” – Evening Standard; or to quote Mayor Boris himself: “The Thames Festival is a great event, a lively and magical celebration of London and its river”. Best enjoyed as you become the centre of attraction as Tower Bridge opens in the middle of it all to let our sailing barges through as part of the Grand Parade up the river. Also see our Thames Experience Gifts section.
   
   

4. Entertaining at ExCeL

   London’s Exhibition Centre is in the royal docks and if you are there for a conference or expo, either attending or exhibiting, then contact us for ideas of how to make the most of your time there using our vessels alongside the quay, right next to ExCeL itself. Year round ExCeL has lots going on ad we have already done work for The London International Boat Show, The Wine and Spirit Fair and The World Travel Market and that’s just a fraction of the great events taking place.
