Driftwoods
Driftwoods introduces a fresh take on river entertainment, transforming a traditional boat into a spacious, pavilion-like venue with panoramic glass walls that frame the stunning London riverbank in a cinematic 360-degree view.
What sets Driftwoods apart is its thoughtfully curated event packages, designed to make planning seamless and cost-effective, offering an unforgettable experience without breaking the bank.
Expansive windows slide open onto wooden decks, enhancing your spectacular views and inviting refreshing breezes on warm days. Electric canvas awnings provide shade throughout, with air conditioning available if desired.
You can choose to drop anchor at one of our eco-friendly private piers or embark on a journey with our crew, exploring the river between Chelsea and Royal Greenwich. For a stationary event, we recommend our exclusive berth at Tower Bridge Quay.
Packages start from £98 + VAT per person, plus a charter fee of £7,500 in peak months / £6,500 in off-peak months.
