Awesome place for tea etc

Beth_S, Jan 2026

This was such a cool venue! Eli was our server and he was so sweet. They had a nice selection of tea. The scenic view was amazing, that’s worth it alone. However if you get sea sick, beware. It does have a slight bob to it. Otherwise, it’s great.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hello, Thank you for your amazing review! We are pleased to hear your experience with the afternoon tea went as expected and Eli showed customer service we expect. Your comments have been passed to the team. Kind regards Uber Boat by Thames Clippers Team
