7. Summer On The Thames
Finding a summer event for large groups in central London can be extremely difficult with outdoor space being difficult to come by. Summer On The Thames offers an exciting solution with the use of several high speed RIB’s blasting along the Thames. What better way to experience London in the summer than from a completely unique angle. This experience is sure to impress with an adrenaline fuelled blast followed by a delicious summer BBQ in a superb venue overlooking the Thames. Groups will moor up at Limehouse pier and enjoy the summer evening with a summer feast overlooking one of the most iconic waterways.
To make this event extra special we recommend combining Summer On The Thames with one of our Treasure Hunts.
“On behalf of myself and the Team we would like to thank you for a wonderful event on July 18th. Your team are extremely professional and your company has a very personal touch which was very much noticed. The team really enjoyed the treasure hunt and your presentations before and after the event. The boat rides also were a great hit and are still a talking point! The transfers to and from the evening meal were very professional and the coaches were amazing.”
