About this space

Tamesis Dock is a one-of-a-kind floating venue moored on the Thames, offering panoramic views of London’s skyline and a setting that’s both distinctive and full of character. Perfect for celebrations, live music, or company events with a difference, the boat can host up to 260 standing guests across its three main areas: the Lower Deck, the West-Facing Deck, and the Outside Stage Deck.

Each space has its own atmosphere — from the open-air decks with skyline views to the spacious, high-ceilinged Lower Deck below — giving you flexibility to create an event that feels exactly right for your occasion.

Facilities include:

High ceilings and natural light
Quirky, characterful interiors
Full PA system
Wi-Fi and flatscreen TV
Uninterrupted views of the Thames and the Houses of Parliament

With its relaxed energy, warm lighting, and unbeatable riverside location, Tamesis Dock brings people together in a way few London venues can.
