In January 1965, following the death of Sir Winston Churchill, Havengore was given her greatest honour. Watched live by a worldwide audience of 350million, she carried his coffin from Tower Pier to Festival Pier as part of his state funeral.

For the next 30 years, she continued to serve the Port of London Authority as its flagship and survey vessel until she was sold twelve years ago. Havengore has now been completely and sympathetically restored and is providing an exclusive and prestigious range of hospitality opportunities from her base in St Katherine’s Dock next to Tower Bridge on the Thames..

Havengore is available for exclusive sailing charter for up to 40 passengers. She offers the opportunity for you to impress and influence your guests in a stylish, subtle manner. Whether you are looking for a river cruise or an intimate dinner, Havengore offers you a unique occasion. Many of the piers along the Thames may be used for embarking and disembarking Havengore on a sailing event.

Clients can choose to combine an event on Havengore with another. For example, taking a selection of top clients for lunch or dinner on Havengore after a meeting at one of the hotels on the Thames or combining with another events such as a trip on the London Eye or a theatre.

Havengore is now also available for Clay Shooting parties. These fabulous events are great fun and a wonderful reward for clients, staff or partners.
