Share this event

Glide downriver and hear how London's story might have come to a shocking end. The outbreak of plague in 1665 was followed the next year by the Great Fire of London which ripped through and almost destroyed the medieval city. Hear our expert guide outline how the Thames helped London survive these dark years, rebuild and emerge stronger than ever as you cruise past historic and modern landmarks, from steeples to skyscrapers.
