London is probably the best city in the world to hold corporate hospitality, product launches or client entertainment events.  From famous buildings to breathtaking livery halls, there are numerous historic settings along the River Thames, each with a unique space and each offering a spectacular London events venues. You can experience the opulence of sparkling chandeliers, priceless fine art, royal connections and stunning vistas across the river.

n Central London every stretch of the Thames has a tale to tell with iconic landmarks such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, St Paul’s Cathedral and London Bridge. Past the Tower of London and Tower Bridge the river sweeps down to Greenwich and the O2 Dome before finally reaching the Thames Barrier and the open sea.

You can go back in time to London of the past, with spectacularly lavish venues and a wow-factor to impress your guests, whether for a formal dinner or conference.  It’s possible to feel as if you have been transported to a seventeenth century country manor or a secret garden – all in the heart of the city of London and all reached by the river.With the London Olympics getting closer a new batch of venues can be added to London’s list. The Olympic Park will be twice the size of the new Terminal 5 at Heathrow but the entire 2.5sq km plot is now ready for construction.

The proximity of the Tames to virtually all the iconic landmarks in London means you can link your land-based event with a cruise on the river in a variety of craft – from a tall ship to a luxury motor cruiser or a paddle steamer.

For larger conferences and hospitality or launch events that may require more up to date presentation and A-V facilities, the river can still be a part of a unique London events venues package by using the ExCel exhibition centre in Docklands.With the exhibition hall located right on the Royal Victoria Dock, boats can be moored at the quayside for break-out space and receptions for groups of up to 200 people and can cruise from ExCel up the Thames into central London.
