Londoners are always on the lookout for the best brunch view in the city, and while many head to the rooftops, the Thames has always been London’s original terrace. You’ll cast off from Butler’s Wharf, beneath the iconic Tower Bridge, and watch a roll call of London’s famous landmarks appear outside your window as classics like eggs benedict are served. “Locals hurry through the city on hectic schedules, while visitors rush between the famous sights,” says Adam, one of our local guides. “But out on the river, the city comes to you.”
This 90-minute return cruise pairs a laidback weekend brunch vibe with wow-worthy views of the city skyline, like the unmistakable silhouette of the Houses of Parliament. The live commentary is packed with stories and local insights about the historic waterfront buildings and architectural icons that drift by. There’s no timetable to chase here and no crowded streets to navigate. Instead, you can settle in and watch the city unfold at a relaxed pace, taking in views that have helped shape London for centuries.
The menu brings together classic hot breakfast favourites paired with pastries, fresh fruit juice, tea and coffee. Whether you’re a visitor easing into a day of sightseeing or a Londoner simply looking for a fresh way to rediscover your city, treat yourself to weekend brunch on the water.
