Hispaniola in summer  

The R.S. Hispaniola is a fully air-conditioned ship with a beautiful, high-quality restaurant, two bars, sun terraces and meeting room. Permanently moored on the River Thames alongside Victoria Embankment by Jubilee Footbridge in central London, convenient for public transport (Charing Cross and Embankment) and London's West End theatre district, the Hispaniola provides a relaxed, gastronomic haven amidst the city bustle. With fabulous views on both decks from St.Paul's round to the Houses of Parliament, and a beautiful river setting in the evening when the South Bank becomes a glitter of fairy lights, the Hispaniola welcomes everyone, from tired visitors relaxing over a morning coffee or afternoon tea to delegates at an all-day business meeting or conference; from couples enjoying a romantic evening meal for two to wedding and party guests.

R.S.Hispaniola - London's unique restaurant on the river where everybody is welcome.
