DQ can operate from a selection of piers on the River Thames.

The DQ is the largest entertainment, conference, and event boat on London's River Thames. Able to carry up to 620 guests, the replica paddle steamer is a highly familiar sight to many Londoners and is one of the most glamorous ways to see the city from the river. A major feature of the venue is her size, as the is tall enough that Tower Bridge must lift to let her pass - a moment always thoroughly enjoyed by guests on board! She is the perfect unique and classy venue for corporate events, summer parties, summer BBQ's, birthday parties, weddings, meetings and conferences, product launches, filming location, private dining, drinks receptions and so much more. 

Her versatility is what sets her apart from other venues on the Thames, her open deck allows you to dance beneath the stars on a warm summer evening, whilst sipping on your favorite cocktail and taking in the mesmerizing views of London's iconic skyline - perfect for sightseeing in the city!
