Glass Room (CLOSED)

Having dinner aboard a river cruiser is one of London’s romantic treats, and Bateaux offers a choice of two vessels that depart from Embankment pier, both promising gold-standard sightseeing, live music and ever after-dinner dancing. The Glass Room is one of the most original dining spaces in the capital: imagine a stylish water-borne conservatory. To eat, expect three seasonal courses (more are available for a supplement), perhaps cherry tomato, caramelised onion and goat’s curd tart followed by free-range chicken ballotine with pearl barley risotto and asparagus, plus a Bateaux strawberry and basil mess to finish. Alternatively, book up for the great-value afternoon tea or Sunday lunch.
