Summer partying on a boat? It has to be Thames Luxury Charters, which have vessels of three different sizes - including one with a roof and another with capacity for up to 620 guests - and a choice of canapes or sit-down dinners. The largest is also the only Thames-based charter to need the Tower Bridge to open for it to pass, meaning it's ideal for photo opps.
