Driftwoods: London’s Newest Party Boat

By Carrie Larwood,

Driftwoods reimagines a simple river boat design, with the spacious, rectangular footprint of a pavilion framing the cinematic London riverbank. The restored interior, by leading British designer Tom Dixon, features soft, neutral wool carpeting reflecting the patterns of London’s iron bridges, the bar is wrapped in charcoal grey cork and lacquered finishes.
Driftwoods’ huge windows glide open to wooden decks adding to the epic views, letting cool breezes flow through on warmer days together with the shade of electric canvas awnings throughout (and if you still desire it, air con).

Do you prefer feast tables or would you like to wander and graze all night?  Driftwoods menus feature the very highest quality of seasonal, sustainable ingredients arriving from UK farms and fisheries straight into the immaculate, two-floor galley. Choose to drop anchor (super eco) at a private pier (Westminster or Tower Bridge) or plot a voyage with the crew anywhere between Chelsea and Royal Greenwich.

Driftwoods is propelled by Shell GTL, a low emission, non-toxic and biodegradable new fuel. The mood is casual, wholesome and delicious.
