The Golden Hinde

The Golden Hinde is a full-scale replica of Sir Francis Drake's 16th-century galleon moored on the Thames at Bankside, offering an event space that is genuinely unlike anything else on the river. The entire ship accommodates up to 120 standing guests, with wooden beams and warm lighting giving the interior a distinctly atmospheric quality. On-site facilities include AV equipment, a sound system, high-speed internet, air conditioning, natural light and onsite catering. Borough Market is a two-minute walk away, and London Bridge is reachable on foot in seven minutes, giving the surrounding area a lively, well-connected character. For travel, London Bridge Underground Station is a four-minute walk, London Cannon Street Station is fourteen minutes on foot, and London City Airport is approximately a 33-minute drive. For event and communications managers looking for a space with genuine character and a central riverside position, the ship's single-hire format keeps logistics straightforward while the setting does much of the talking.
