A trip down the river to Canary Wharf for drinks/food and perhaps on to Greenwich for more drinks/food. Meet at the entrance to Embankment Pier, WC2N 6NU, about 2.45pm (or earlier in Retro Bar) to get tickets and catch the 3pm Uber Eastbound sailing. We alight at Canary Wharf about 3.45pm, and walk along the riverside for a few minutes to the Grapes Pub, at 76 Narrow Street, E14 8BP. This is a very small, three-hundred year old pub, right on the riverbank. Sir Ian McEllen is one of the three current owners. We could stay on to eat there, and then explore the Canary Wharf area, or go on to Greenwich and eat at Zizzi's, just by the pier, or further into the town at Ye Olde Rose and Crown, SE10 8ER, on the corner of Croom's Hill.
Later, we can sail back to Embankment for Retro Rendezvous, or stay in Greenwich and perhaps go to Oliver's Jazz Bar across the road from the Rose and Crown. NB, evening sailings back West are only every 30 minutes and finish before 10pm. Alternatively there is the DLR back to a connection with the tube.
Check out Thames Clippers website for ticket info. Tickets can be bought online or at the pier. Or you can simply touch a card reader, like the tube. Jump on/off tickets are available, but I think these cost about £25 return. (If you are ancient like me and have a Freedom Pass there's a 50% discount.) We could always come back by DLR and/or tube.
