About Driftwoods

Driftwoods is the casual, younger sibling of Woods’ Silver Fleet, a company who have been creating luxe events on the Thames for over 75 years.

A floating pavilion, framed 360 in glass, Driftwoods offers relaxed and playful events on the River Thames, perfect for cocktail and canape receptions, creative food stalls or seated dining whilst sailing between Westminster and Greenwich, taking in all of London's central landmarks.

Tom Dixon interiors have been refurbished throughout, with a welcome reception area for arrival drinks and late night dancing, plus an expansive dining room anchored by a bespoke Tom Dixon carpet for impressive dining with panoramic views through the floor to ceiling glass.

Convenient event packages make this venue the perfect option for straight-forward and affordable event planning.
