Activity itinerary

The Mayflower Pub
  • 40m
Visit the 16th century pub where the Mayflower was once moored
St Mary's Rotherhithe (Pass by)
A beautiful example of English Baroque architecture, St. Mary's Church has existed since the 13th century, but was rebuilt in the early 18th century. It is where Christopher Jones, the captain of the Mayflower was buried.
Thames River
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
We will enjoy beautiful views of the River Thames throughout the trip and will also cross under it, using the Thames Tunnel, built between 1825 and 1843 by Marc Brunel and his son Isambard. This remarkable feat of engineering was the first tunnel of its kind under a navigable river. Today, the tunnel is part of the East London Line on the London Underground.
The Captain Kidd
  • 40m
A beautiful riverside mansion that was later converted into a pub, the Captain Kidd takes its name from one of history's most notorious pirates. Owned by the Sam Smith's brewery, this pub boasts an excellent selection of traditional English ales
Execution Dock - actual location
  • 10m
Visit the spot where many pirates met their grisly fates, including Captain Kidd, who inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write Treasure Island
Town of Ramsgate
  • 40m
A very traditional pub with a beautiful riverside garden. There has been a pub on this site since the 1460s, although the current establishment was founded in 1545. This was where the notorious Judge Jeffries, responsible for the Bloody Assizes, was caught as he attempted to flee the country in 1688
Wapping
  • 15m
Learn about the history of Wapping, one of the most historic neighbourhoods of the London Docklands. Hear about the gruesome Ratcliffe Highway Murders and the notorious Damaris Page
The Prospect of Whitby
  • 45m
Step back in time! Dating back to Henry VIII's reign, the Prospect of Whitby is one of the most atmospheric pubs in London. With its flagstone floors and cosy interior, you will feel like you are in a pirate film
