We will arrive early afternoon and our driver will drop you off in Greenwich an outstanding area best known for its world-class attractions, royal connections, rich history, architecture and vast parks. It’s a great location for shopping, to take in some culture or to sit back and watch the world go by.
Steeped in maritime history Greenwich is home to the Cutty Sark, National Maritime Museum and the classical buildings of the Old Royal Navy College and the Queen’s House. Not forgetting Greenwich Observatory, the historic home of British astronomy and Greenwich Mean Time, where you can stand on the world-famous Meridian Line. There will be approximately 2 ½ hours free time in Greenwich.
As the sun begins to set we commence our one-hour cruise along the Thames. Departing from Greenwich, our skipper will entertain you with a fun and informative commentary whilst you sit back and relax taking in the beautiful lights from this wonderful vantage point along the river. We cruise through the City and Canary Wharf, past The Tower of London and beneath an illuminated Tower Bridge, before arriving at the Houses of Parliament and disembarking at Westminster Bridge.
After the cruise, our coach will be waiting to meet you for our guided tour of the best of London’s Christmas Lights including the renowned highlights and lesser-known hidden gems.
We finish our day with a delicious two-course fish & chips dinner served with tea or coffee. Please advise us of any dietary requirements at the time of booking.
After enjoying our meal we make the return journey home.
