The long, warm, hazy evenings of midsummer are the perfect time to enjoy a post-work tipple or two. Qcumber, the quintessentially English soft drink that encapsulates the taste of summer, brings after hours cocktails with a difference in London from July to August. Inspired by classic works of English literature, join Qcumber on a canal-boat-come-cocktail-bar, as they serve a selection of concoctions inspired by works such as The Importance of Being Earnest, The Wind in the Willows and Pride and Prejudice.

– Setting course from Paddington you’ll explore the sights and houseboats of Little Venice, then head East along the Regent’s Canal, with a quick stop through London Zoo and onto Camden Lock, before heading back to Paddington

– While on the boat you will indulge in gin tasting before being whisked through a set menu of specially crafted cocktails and modern twists on the humble cucumber sandwich

Over 21s only. Ticket includes one drink on arrival and a three-serve set cocktail menu. Additional Qcumber and gin/vodka can be purchased from the bar. Event starts at 6.30pm. The boat will depart and leave its mooring at 7pm sharp. Guests will not be able to leave the boat until it moors back at the end destination at approximately 10pm.
