Chiswick Pier Trust’s ever-popular Battersea Fireworks River Cruise is back on Sunday 2 November, offering a spectacular way to experience one of London’s most iconic displays—from the unique vantage point of the Thames.
Departing from Chiswick Pier at 6.00pm (boarding from 5.45pm), the cruise will take passengers downstream to just below Albert Bridge, where the boat will stem the tide off Battersea Park in time for the fireworks, which are scheduled to begin around 7.00pm. After the display, the boat will return to Chiswick Pier, arriving at approximately 8.45pm.
Guests will enjoy a fork supper during the cruise, with a choice of meat or vegetarian lasagne, served alongside French bread and salad. A licensed bar will be available throughout the evening for those wishing to purchase drinks.
The cruise takes place on an open-topped boat, offering unobstructed views of the fireworks above Battersea Park. While the upper deck provides the best vantage point, seating on the lower deck is limited, so guests are advised to dress warmly and appropriately for the conditions.
Tickets are priced at £43 per person and must be booked in advance via the Chiswick Pier Trust website: www.chiswickpier.org.uk
This event has sold out quickly in previous years, and with demand expected to be high again, early booking is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment.
Events like this are organised by the Chiswick Pier Trust which works to engage people with the River Thames. It provides access to the Thames and supports major river events, as well as organising events of its own.
