SPECIAL EVENTS ON THE RIVER THAMES

Every so often special events take place on the River Thames for which the R.S.Hispaniola provides splendid viewing facilities - beautiful surroundings with two bars, excellent food (tapas served all day, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner) and great views from the open decks.    

When you next read or hear about a special event on the River Thames in central London, think about the Hispaniola.   It's a great place from which to join in the fun.
