Our Smoke On The Water boat party is now fully booked.

Weather permitting, we're expecting around 200 people to join us on board The Elizabethan, a Mississippi-style paddle steamer with a unique sliding roof and an outside walkway on three sides where you can admire the view of London while smoking to your heart's content.

The party, on Wednesday evening, starts with a drinks reception while the boat is static at Westminster Pier. Guest speaker is David Nuttall MP and there will be a five-piece band, Urban Blue, to keep everyone entertained.

From 8.15 the boat will cruise down river to Canary Wharf, returning to Festival Pier on the South Bank around 10.00pm. If it's anything like last year the party will continue in the local bars and restaurants.

PS. If you have registered your ticket is in the post.
