About this space

The Outside Stage Deck sits at the front of the vessel, offering open-air views of the Thames, the Houses of Parliament, and the London Eye — a truly distinctive backdrop for any occasion.

This space provides an exclusive area for you and your guests to relax, celebrate, or take in the city from the water. It’s especially suited to summer parties, informal gatherings, and events that benefit from a touch of fresh air and atmosphere.

Hire fees and minimum spends vary depending on the day and time of your booking.

EVERYTHING. The weather was rubbish so we were able to go inside, it was the perfect size space for all of our guests. We were able to put up decorations and the staff were so good even when we were loud etc. Could not recommend the venue more for a very chilled party vibe and the most unique venue to party with your friends. Thank you so much!

Poor communication

The venue is really pretty, but I had booked the lower deck (space for 70) but got moved to the stage deck which was sooo much smaller. I think this was a miscommunication but my order and invoice were for the larger space. The smaller deck could supposedly fit 30, but it was very tight - no room to move around or dance. Somehow, the cost was the same though. The staff were friendly but our preordered drinks and pizza were slow to arrive and they told us they had run out of glasses. They also had to swap out pitchers of pimms for other drinks because they'd run out.
