We have enjoyed a splendid night on this cruise last week to celebrate my 40th birthday. The boat arrived exactly on time and set off exactly on time. From the minute it arrived our spirits were lifted by the sight of really nice tables dressed with the starter already waiting for us. As we stepped on board we were handed... More

It was decided to try the London Showboat as they were running 2for1 deals. We had read reviews but take them lightly as each individual has their own expectations and I must say aprt from a couple of points I was not disappointed. Decor is dowdy and out-of-date, service excellent and friendly and 8 out of ten for presentation given... More

I booked this dinner cruise in advance, knowing that it would be Guy Fawkes night and that we would likely see many fireworks as we cruised. Similar to some other reviews - we arrived at the Westminster Pier on time for the 7:15 boarding, as instructed. The boats didn't arrive until 7:45 p.m. This dinner cruise is run by City... More

Arrived at Westminster Pier in good time for the 19.15 boarding times, "be prompt" the website says as "we will leave at 19.30". No signs or anyone to meet/greet us, so with other boats at the pier, had to ferret around to find someone that knew of the Showboat. It finally arrived at about 19.35 took another 15 minutes to...

Having read the reviews and got a good discount offer, I thought that this might be a good experience these days; maybe lost the 80's tackiness that you would associate with this type of cruise. Well it hasn't. The boat was half an hour late, no apology whatsover. Some grumpy, harassed old guy shepherded people onto the boat then gave... More

Having a very good memory with the Paris evening Dinner cruise in Paris we also tried the London version with City River Cruises... The London show boat...! Help! It was Hell... After bringing the last day tourist back to the pier, they transformed the boat to " evening" boat... , dirty boat already before starting the cruise. Not even a... More

I suppose this in aimed at tourists but, even so, give them something better than this. Average food, average singer, terrible decor, standard day tour boat, arrived late with no apology, rude staff greeting and all very expensive. Tourists; we can do better, promise! More

Two of us went to celebrate our 30th birthday and we admittedly got a really good deal on the tickets which meant it was good value for us. The 4 course meal was very good. We had the smoked salmon and prawn starter, the soup, chicken for main course (delicious little new potatoes) and the two different desserts. Everything was... More

After reading up on London Showboat and from a friends recommendation I gave it a try, the staff were so friendly and danced by the bar as the terrific entertainer had everyone on the floor singing and dancing with his show. So nice to see waiting staff acknowledged as they walked through the boat towards the end of the evening... More
