Entertainment on the River Thames
River Thames is the lifeline for the tourism
industry this has gone down wellwith the visitors or travellers who happen to
visit the city of London. Cruises, small trips in artistic boats, the riverside
pubs and restaurants, theatres, museum and the art galleries basically flank
the Thames. The guided tour to the River Thames has a bit of everything from the lavishness of the cruise to the
simplicity of a boat ride, if one feels like relaxing at the banks they can
spot the riverside pubs and eateries having artistic interiors , it can be
quite a breath-taking moment.The Thames takes care of the versatility, on one
hand gives you the opportunity to explore the slow paced London and on the
other hand the walks to the countryside can be relaxing and educative, there
are times when the adventurous travellers can also find a place to vent out.

it, has been a commendable feat. There are plethora of cultural landmarks and
if you sure and you know where you are heading to you are one sorted individual
but for those who have made it a point to explore it from the start, be aware
that you are in the land of the great William Shakespeare and do not let go a
single opportunity to visit the Globe Theatre. Other places showcasing the
modern and contemporary artistic styles are the Tate Modern which houses some
awe inspiring works of some of the great artists, there are other places also
like The Tate Britain, the National Theatre, BFI Southbank and the Southbank
Centre.

to the era when these architectural monuments came into being.From the very
start you are in a completely different zone and tuned in to a period which
gives you an understanding of how these beautiful monuments came up and with
what awe inspiring artistic fervourthe sculptors and artists have brought these

Museums Greenwich, Tower of London and Hoses of Parliament.
Pubs
and Restaurants by the Thames
What
better way to pamper your spouse or your girlfriend when you booka restaurant
and plan a visit to the pub alongside the Thames that gives you a scenic view to
hold it close to your heart for a thousand lifetimes. If you are a solitude
lover then check out the quiet and exotic dinner on the Thames in a dinner
cruise, where you are left on your own to contemplate and ponder on the
mysteries of the life and absorb the beauty of your surroundings.

experience to walk along the Thames and cruising on the Thames is incomplete
without viewing the city from the London eye. The thrill to explore by cable
car gets you to the Emirates Air Line cable car and if you are in two minds take
a ride on the Thames Clipper. To boost the adrenaline rush take the Helicopter
Tour and make it an experience of your lifetime.
Gardens
wildlife and a bit of Parks we have it all
Nature
has a different meaning to different people the popular Flower Show at Chelsea
gives you a chance to admire the floral and ikebana styles at display.
Botanical Gardens are another side of London the botanist and the plant
enthusiast are sure to visit the place. To unwind and be one with the nature
plan a visit to Battersea Park and the children also have a beautiful corner
for themselves the Children’s Zoo.
London
has some famous bridges and even the nursery rhymes would make a special
mention of the bridges, given a chance any traveller will be interested to know,
how and what all goes into the creation of the bridge and so a visit to the
exhibition at the Tower Bridge is a must.
The view from the bridge will add a new dimension and thus a walk on the
Millennium Bridge and Hungerford Bridge is a must, do not
miss the chance to get clicked and also make an effort to take home some
breath-taking views in your shutterbug. Even the beautiful architectural
designs of the bridges at the Albert Bridge are a beauty to watch, you might as
well take a photograph.
Waterways
To
explore on foot and by air is what we generally master and we cannot agree more
but to look at a newer dimension, the waterways which will be a momentous
thing. London and specially River Thames gives you a chance to explore the wilderness
and also the areas of Richmond, Greenwich another historical site along with
the beautiful designer boats at St. Katherine Dock keeps you spellbound.
