Lunch Cruise on the River Thames

Departing from the same pier as many Tower of London tours, this cruise trades the evening's lit-up skyline for clear daytime views of the City's architecture and the river traffic around Tower Bridge. Two lunch departures around midday make it easy to slot into a day already built around the Tower or Borough Market, and at 105 minutes it's a shorter, lighter commitment than the dinner version. It suits visitors who'd rather see London's landmarks by daylight and get their sightseeing done before the afternoon.
