New river tour launches in London

A new river tour showcases London’s famous attractions from the River Thames.

The Tower of London River Tour, in partnership with Historic Royal Palaces, takes place on the country’s first purpose-built electric tour boat, Silver Raven. 

The live-guided cruise combines British heritage with expert storytelling, scripted by well-known writer Martha Douglas-Howe, and provides guests with panoramic views of more than 20 London landmarks such as Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral and Shakespeare's Globe. 

The 40-minute tour operates daily on a circular route from Tower Bridge Quay to Westminster and back.
