A Venue You Don't Just Hire. You Take Over.
Create an event with a difference aboard The War Ship — a unique Thames venue based at Cadogan Pier, Chelsea. From intimate dining and private celebrations to corporate hospitality, product launches and full brand takeovers, the vessel can be transformed around the occasion and can even set sail on the Thames as part of the experience.
A Look Inside
The saloon, the deck and the galley — a first look at the vessel before you take it over.
What Makes The War Ship Different
Everything event planners need to know before they take over the ship:
- Central London Thames location at Cadogan Pier, Chelsea
- Approximately 150–170 overall event capacity, depending on format, layout and production footprint
- Suitable for both intimate and larger-format events
- Intimate upper-deck dining configuration for approximately 20 guests
- Working galley and kitchen onboard
- The vessel can sail rather than operating only as a static venue
