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.

Hi, Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Thank you for reminding me. Thank you for letting me view the ship. The space allocated is too small for what we need so we will not be making a booking. I wish you the best. Kind regards Alda
