Fascinating fact!
Woolwich (Royal Arsenal) Pier was designed by Beckett Rankine and built my Mowlem in 2002. It was built to give river access close to the major urban regeneration at the historic Woolwich Arsenal where old buildings were converted and tranformed into residential accomodation.

We were invited to a training session on the Golden Star and it was a great way to learn whilst travelling from London Eye Pier, up to Greenwich and then back to Tower Bridge and seeing some wonderful sights along the river.

I would like to express to you how pleased we are for you assisting us with our Church Singles Boat event.Words alone cannot express how delighted we are. The crew was magnificent, from the bar staff, the food servers, the Captain, his assistance. Everyone was so kind and accommodating, we will definitely use your service again and also recommend you. Our Marriage Ministry is now considering putting on an event also based on the feedback. Please pass this on to the boat crew. Many thanks again and we look forward in using your service again in the summer. CPBS- Golden Flame you rock - Thumbs up!

Just wanted to send an email to thank you and everyone at cpbs for the allowing us to make that the best party we have EVER put on. From start to finish that was on another level!! The Bar Staff & Security were brilliant, they got involved and made everyone feel welcome and helped us produce a blinder of a day. Every single person that came said it was the best party they have ever been too!! We would 100% be interested in booking the same boat for the same Sunday next year, If you could let us know when the diary is open to make that booking i would be more than happy to get that secured!!! Once again, thank you for everything! Alan.

The evening was fantastic! From the booking process to the crew on the boat everything was perfect! The crew were extremely accommodating and were very attentive to our needs. Even helping us take down the extras light that I setup at the beginning of the night. The DJ was a hit as well the music had a good balance between the new and old that I has asked for.
I would recommend CPBS to friends and family,
