Relaxing River Thames Boat Trip - Westminster to Hampton Court!

Come along on Saturday 19th July for a peaceful boat trip up the River Thames from Westminster to Hampton Court!

About the boat trip
We will be catching the boat at Westminster Pier for a relaxing boat trip upriver to Hampton Court. Due to the speed restrictions on that part of the Thames and the number of locks, it will take over 2 hours. This is the only boat company that goes west and it normally only has one trip a day to Hampton Court.

The trip will have full commentary on the things you can see along the river. It will cover: the Houses of Parliament, Battersea Power Station, Chelsea Harbour, Chiswick House, Kew Gardens, Syon House, Marble Hill House, Ham House and Hampton Court Palace. We will also see lots of wildlife, pass under 15 bridges and many locks, including Teddington lock.

The boat stops along the way at Richmond, then Kew and then the final stop at Hampton Court. Its a single journey and we will get to Hampton Court at about 1:15 - 1:45pm.

Its a public boat, so there will be other people on board and it can take 120 passengers.

On board
You can either sit inside the boat under cover or outside on the deck, there are plenty of seats.

There are toilets on the boat along with refreshments, but please bring your own food and drink as well to eat on board.
