Thames River Circular Cruise from Westminster to St. Katherines
This cruise is popular amongst both locals and tourists. As a city with over two millennia of rich culture and history, London has much to offer in terms of beautiful sights to see. Like most great cities, London developed around a major river - the Thames. The House of Parliament, also known as the Palace of Westminster, is a magnificent building near the Westminster Pier. The Festival Pier is situated just outside the Southbank Centre and is home to the Purcell Room, the Hayward Gallery, and the Elizabeth Hall.
The captain of your cruise boat will tell you intriguing facts about all these places. Bankside Pier and Embankment Pier also feature interesting sights like the Somerset House. Visit this brilliant neoclassical house with 55 fountains and an ice rink. You might even find an open-air concert or art exhibition going on here.
The National Theatre is another impressive sight on this cruise. Learn about how this theatre is keeping the spirit of acting and playwriting alive by producing re-imagined versions of classic shows and modern plays by contemporary playwrights. Shakespeare’s globe is the final attraction on the cruise. You can disembark at the Bankside Pier or Katherine’s Pier and go on a unique guided tour of the place. Here, you will find out more about the life and works of Shakespeare.
