New Year’s Eve Celebration on the River Thames

No need to worry about whether you'll be able to see the fireworks from the banks of the Thames if you snap up a spot on this replica paddle steamer, which will allow you to see the explosive action from the middle of the Thames instead. The five-hour cruise will feature a live band and a buffet dinner, and guests will be welcomed on board with a Kir Royale. At midnight the bascules of Tower Bridge will lift and the boat will sail through just in time to watch the fireworks with a glass of bubbly in one hand and a bacon sandwich in the other. Book in advance.
