Havengore

Havengore was designed as a survey vessel for the Port of London Authority. She was the largest vessel they owned and their flagship. Havengore served the Port of London Authority for 40 years – their longest serving vessel - before being retired in 1995. Havengore has been used for a large number of official events. The most notable event of Havengore’s life was during the State Funeral of Sir Winston Churchill in 1965 where Havengore carried Sir Winston Churchill across the Thames to Festival Pier - this monumental event was watched by 350 million people worldwide. In addition to the funeral of Sir Winston Churchill, Havengore has taken part in many other ceremonial events. Today, Havengore is registered in London and is certified by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency to carry 40 passengers and 10 crew. Havengore has a capacity of 60 whilst moored and 40 whilst cruising. Havengore is an ideal venue for both exclusive river cruises and moored events. Our river cruises offer a unique opportunity to cruise on board a historic vessel through the heart of London. Not only do you experience an amazing view of London from The Thames, but you also travel on truly elegant vessel. And our hospitality is superb. Afternoon Tea, Canapes and bowl food menus are all of the highest quality and personally prepared by excellent chefs. Combine a cruise with a visit to the Tower of London for a private viewing of the Crown Jewels followed by dinner and the Ceremony of the Keys. Using Havengore as a moored venue is equally impressive. Our location in St Katharine Docks provides an ideal backdrop to an evening reception, meeting or dinner.
