Why walk through London when you can sail along it? At Horrible Histories Live Onboard! Terrible Thames, you’ll take a river cruise along London’s most famous river. Equal parts informative tour and wild entertainment, Terrible Thames is created by award-winning theatre producers Birmingham Stage Company and Woods’ Silver Fleet, a family-run company of Thames Watermen since 1866.
The experience’s combination of theatre practitioners and storied watermen makes this tour one of London’s most unique: there’s not a second of boredom on this engaging cruise where you’ll see the city’s most iconic sights and hear about its famed royals, from King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn to Jack the Ripper and Captain Kidd. No history is without its wicked parts, and this family-friendly tour never spares a saucy detail.
Few tours of England’s capital afford visitors and locals such an efficient yet sweeping account of one of the world’s greatest cities. On this river cruise, you can expect tall tales, shocking histories, and a sprinkling of memorable tidbits — did you know London Bridge opens 800 times per year to let ships pass through?
