All aboard for the only boat tours available on the waterways of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in East London! This three hour guided river cruise gives you a new perspective of the vibrant Olympic Park with magnificent views of London Stadium, the AcelorMittal Orbit and the newly refurbished Carpenters Road Lock. Pass through this impressive lock and cruise along the old River Lea towards the 'Big Breakfast House' before entering the Lee Navigation and St Thomas Creek, with cream tea served as you sail. Finish the cruise at the north side of the Olympic Park with uninterrupted views of award-winning parkland and gardens. There is a pay bar on the boat serving hot, cold and alcoholic drinks. Step free access and an accessible toilet is available on the boat, and special diets can be catered for but please let us know in advance. Book by 7 July to guarantee availability.
Before your cruise there is time to explore the exciting developments at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The V&A East Storehouse opened last year with free entry - get behind-the-scenes access to the archives like never before with over half a million creative works on display! Look out for the V&A Museum East which is set to open in April 2026 - full of inspirational exhibitions and galleries. Or, perhaps head over the railway footbridge for excellent shopping and leisure opportunities at Westfield Stratford.
Includes return travel, reserved coach seat, three hour cruise with cream tea and free time at the Olympic Park or Westfield Stratford. The coach is due to arrive at The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park at 12:00, setting down on Carpenter's Road next to the V&A East Museum. There is free time to explore the Olympic Park attractions or for shopping at Westfield before meeting at the Stratford Waterfront Pontoon at 14:15 for your 14:30 sailing. The boat docks at 17:30 and the coach will depart 15 minutes later from the same spot on Carpenter's Road. There will be a 30 minute comfort stop at Birchanger Services on the outward journey only.
