Riverside Venues in London

The River Thames has been immortalised by countless poets, from T.S. Eliot to William Wordsworth, and if you want to enjoy the sight of its dark water from the comfort of one of London's riverside venues then Zipcube is the place to come.

Lounging alongside the river is a fine way to spend an evening or afternoon, so once you've used our search engine to take a look at the possible riverside venues available for hire, get in touch with our party venues team. We can offer some advice on which spot along the river – whether it's by the Southbank, near Putney or Lambeth Bridge – will match your riverside desires.

Riverside Venues in London: Tips and Ideas 

Thinking of heading to the riverside for a special day out? If you want to enjoy some nice weather on the riverbank, or watch the Thames from indoors on a day that's less than fine, here are a few pointers:

• On the day of The Boat Race, you'll find the best viewing spots in Putney – especially near Craven Cottage – get taken up and occupied quite quickly, so make sure to arrive early if you want to enjoy the race.

• If you're out in the sun all day, you might need to bring sunscreen or an extra thin layer of clothing to cover up when the sun is at its most intense.

•  It's always nice to watch boats making their way up and down the river, but if you'd prefer to check out the view from the river itself, you can also hire out a party boat.
